This week the California Future of Abortion Council released a list of 45 recommendations, backed by abortion providers and advocacy organizations like @PPActionCA.

And this plan has legs—@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom and state @SenToniAtkins have voiced their support for these recommendations and could get the executive and legislative branches behind them.

The state is already anticipating a nearly 3,000% increase in pregnant people driving to California for abortion care in case of a total reversal of #RoeVWade, according to numbers from @Guttmacher. 
But things aren’t always sunny in California. Pregnant people in the state still face significant barriers to accessing abortion, including owing high co-pays and deductibles, traveling considerable distances, and finding the right provider.
Some of the recommendations?
🪙 increase funding for providers
🖥️ standardize telehealth coverage
🏥 fill gaps caused by religiously affiliated hospitals and health systems
🧑🏫 better sex ed
It’s ambitious—but for once abortion advocates are pushing their own agenda.
