Gray Davis on Abortion Former Democratic CA Governor

No restrictions on women’s right to choose, not on my watch

Over the last four years, no Governor in America has more vigorously defended the freedom to choose than Governor Davis. Today, California is, hands down, the pro-choice state in America - and proud of it.

Strengthen the reproductive rights of California women

Each and every year, Davis has signed new laws to strengthen the reproductive rights of California women, including:
• The Reproductive Privacy Act, ensuring that California stays pro-choice, regardless of whether the US Supreme Court continues to uphold Roe v. Wade.
• The Contraceptive Equity Act, requiring HMOs to cover FDA-approved methods of contraception.
• The California Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which cracks down on those who threaten the safety of our clinics.

Abortion training for medical residents and pharmacists

[As Governor, Davis has] taken action to:
• Require medical residency programs to provide abortion training.
• Enable pharmacists to initiate emergency contraception.
• Provide emergency contraception for victims of sexual assault.
