Nancy Skinner (D).<\/li>\n<li>&quot;[The bill] will further protect our health care providers who are extending a lifeline to their patients who may be in a state where medically safe and effective treatments are now illegal,&quot; Skinner said. <\/li>\n<li>Skinner&#x27;s bill also includes protections for doctors who mail services for contraception or gender-affirming care.<\/li>\n<li>For instance, an individual who travels to or lives in Texas could request and be prescribed abortion medication or contraception from a California medical provider, per Skinner&#x27;s office. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Zoom out: <\/strong>Wyoming became the first state this week to ban abortion pills, which have surged in need since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meanwhile, California this month pulled a $54 million contract with Walgreens over the chain&#x27;s decision to not dispense abortion pills in some states where abortion remains legal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Go deeper &#8230;<\/strong> How abortion pills work and why they&#x27;re in the spotlight<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2023\/03\/19\/abortion-pill-california-roe-v-wade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activists participate in an abortion rights rally on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on July 9, 2022, in Los Angeles.
