UPDATE, 10\/2<\/strong><\/span>: Bill sponsor Sen. Connie Levya has stated that despite Gov. Brown’s veto, she plans to reintroduce the legislation<\/a> during the next legislative session. She said, in part, “This very important bill would have ensured access to medication abortion services on California public university campuses for students seeking to end their pregnancy….\u00a0I am hopeful that our incoming Legislature and Governor will agree that the right to choose isn\u2019t just a slogan, but rather a commitment to improving true access to abortion for students across California.”<\/p>\n

9\/30<\/strong>: In a surprising turn of events, California Governor Jerry Brown, a pro-abortion Democrat, has vetoed a bill<\/a> that would have forced all 34 public universities in the state to make abortion pills (RU-486) available on campus. Two pro-abortion group had pledged $20 million<\/a>\u00a0to implement the dangerous plan throughout California. No state in the nation has such a law.<\/p>\n
