You can now listen to Fox News articles!Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administrationThe governor’s decision, included in a budget agreement state lawmakers reached over the weekend, surprised abortion advocates as California embraced for a likely surge of women seeking abortions in the Golden State following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week toFILE: California Gov.
California's operating budget includes $20 million for an"Abortion Practical Support Fund" to pay for things like airfare, lodging, gas, and meals – but only for, not people traveling from other states. The fund will accept private donations, but it's unclear if that money can cover out-of-state travel expenses.
"We're being realistic. You're going to ask, 'Are we going to pay for everyone's travel and accommodations for 33 million people, of which 10% may seek care in California?' Come on. We have to be realistic about what we can absorb," Newsom said."It's not just the government providing and supporting. It's all of us. It's you, it's me, it's everyone contributing.
While the state legislature will likely approve the state budget on Wednesday, lawmakers can still make changes to it later.
