“An alarming number of states continue to outlaw abortion and criminalize women, and it’s more important than ever to fight like hell for those who need these essential services,” Newsom said, according to the press release. Perhaps the most well-known law signed as part of Newsom’s abortion package was AB 2223, dubbed “the infanticide bill” by pro-life critics. As LifeSiteNews previously reported, pro-life attorneys and activists have argued the bill could legalize infanticide by prohibiting the investigation or prosecution of any woman or abortionist for “pregnancy outcomes,” including abortion, miscarriage, and “perinatal death,” a nebulous period that can span as far as two years after a child is born. Though a later draft of the law was amended to specify “perinatal death due to causes that occurred in utero,” sources have told LifeSiteNews the amended language remains problematic and could still decriminalize the murder of infants even outside the womb. Jeffrey Trissell, special counsel with the conservative Thomas More Society, told LifeSiteNews earlier this month that the amended version of the bill decriminalizes fatal neglect after botched abortions. “This statute seems intended to make sure that we no longer have any abortion survivors,” Trissell said. California Right to Life outreach director Mary Rose Short also told LifeSite that since the bill “penalizes state authorities who investigate infant deaths,” it is “effectively legalizing infanticide.”Democratic Gov.

Other laws signed by Newsom on Tuesday include AB 2091 and AB 1242, which promote California as a destination for abortion tourism by shielding women from pro-life states who opt to kill their unborn babies in California. AB 2091 prevents California health care providers from releasing medical information related to abortions even if served with a subpoena. AB 1242 forbids law enforcement cooperation between California and pro-life states if states seek to prosecute an abortion obtained in California. Another law signed Tuesday, SB 523, will force health care plans to cover the cost of “certain over-the-counter birth control.” SB 1375, which also received Newsom’s rubber stamp on Tuesday, will increase the number of people authorized to commit abortions in California by expanding “training options for Nurse Nurse Practitioners and Certified Nurse-Midwives for purposes of performing abortion care by aspiration techniques.” So-called “vacuum aspiration” is an in-clinic abortion procedure that involves sucking the infant out of the womb and using a metal tool to scrape out the child’s remains from the mother’s uterus. Additional legislative items signed by Newsom will expand the state’s self-described status as a “sanctuary” for abortion by:A.B. 2223 is a pro-infanticide bill that blocks investigations into miscarriage, stillbirth or abortion even if a coroner sees evidence of foul play in the child’s death, including drugs in the baby’s system.
