Senator Limón Issues A Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

[On Monday], Senator Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara), Chair of the Senate Democratic Caucus, issued the following statement on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade:

“It has been two years since millions of women across the country lost access to essential reproductive care with the overturning of Roe v Wade. In 2024, it is a sad reality that women seeking reproductive care today have fewer options than the previous generations before them.

“As we continue to see the consequences of this decision, California has stepped in to protect and advance healthcare access for women. Reproductive care remains safe and legal in the Golden State.

“The California State Legislature has gone to great lengths to protect women’s access to essential reproductive health care. The Legislature has ensured that doctors who provide abortion care and the women who seek that care, are not penalized with civil lawsuits. We have provided funding to reproductive care clinics that are seeing an influx of patients due to bans across the country and we have taken steps to protect women’s access to mifepristone and will do all that we can to ensure this medication remains accessible.

“California has and will always be a national leader for reproductive justice. We will continue to stand together and fight back against laws that seek to strip reproductive health care access for millions of women across the country. ”

  1. Hey Sen. Limon… Whar are you doing about keeping JOBS in California…? What are you doing about businesses LEAVING your State…? Why did the State LIE about the State 2023 job gains…? The LAO (California Legislative Analyst’s Office) showed that CA lost 150k jobs….NO NET JOB GROWTH— Yet you and your croonies in Sacramento told us the State GAINED 130k jobs… What are you doing about repealing the terrible laws that State Senators have written protecting criminals and juveniles who commit serious crimes…? What are you doing about the rampant retail theft issues that are plaguing our State…? WHY are so many restaurants in CA Closing…? Why are we inundated with “homeless/vagrants”/drug and alcohol abusers on all our City Streets and underpasses across the State….??? DO YOUR JOB….!!!!
