Editor\u2019s Note, 2\/6\/24: Live Action News has been informed that the Lozier study which is referred to in this article has been\u00a0<\/i>retracted<\/a><\/i>\u00a0by SagePub, where the study is available for download. We are currently reviewing this information.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

State colleges and universities in California are preparing to offer chemical abortions on campus as early as January of 2023. Abortion advocates are touting the implementation of SB 24, the state law mandating abortion pill distribution on public campuses, as a victory in the post-Roe<\/em> world. But in reality, allowing women to kill their preborn children from a dorm room puts women at incredibly high risk for complications and injury.<\/p>\n

Passed in 2019, SB 24<\/a> mandates that the\u00a011 University of California campuses and 23 California State University campuses distribute the abortion pill in university health centers by 2023.<\/p>\n

State Senator Connie M. Leyva, who sponsored the legislation, believes it’s more important than ever for women to have access to this risky abortion procedure now that Roe v. Wade<\/em> is overturned. \u201cWe knew it was important then, but it\u2019s even more important now,\u201d she told the Los Angeles Times<\/a>. \u201cNow, I think it offers bigger ramifications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leyva is correct when she says that allowing chemical abortions on campus will have bigger ramifications \u2014 but they likely aren’t the ramifications she’s considering.<\/p>\n
