Marking the 50th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

Statement

Date: Jan. 22, 2023
Issues: Reproduction

Governor Gavin Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom issued the following statements marking the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the historic Supreme Court case that established a constitutional right to abortion care, overturned seven months ago by the conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court.

"Today is a solemn reminder that the constitutional rights we have known for decades are at risk like never before. But let me be clear: California will continue to protect reproductive care and expand access," said Governor Gavin Newsom.

"California will continue to lead the way as the reproductive freedom state we are, and we will continue to find new and innovative ways to partner with like-minded states to protect providers, patients, and supporters of reproductive freedom in this post-Roe world."
