California Abortion Law

This will get the attention of those wanting to stop abortions.

California guarantees the right to abortion in statute and the state constitution. It covers the cost of abortion for lower-income Californians on Medi-Cal, and also requires private insurance to cover it. And the state has rejected the idea of requiring waiting periods or parental consent for abortion.

If the fetus cannot survive outside the womb, a pregnant person can seek an abortion for any reason.

After viability, only if continuing the pregnancy threatens the life or health of the pregnant person.

It’s up to a physician’s “good faith medical judgement” — in practicality, most doctors consider a fetus viable at 24 weeks or once a fetus weighs 500 grams.

Once Roe vs Wade is overturned those seeking an abortion will be coming to California if their state bans abortions.
