AB 54 (Krell and/ Aguiar-Curry) (OPPOSE) Access to Safe Abortion Care Act would make it permanently legal to send, receive, and use abortion pills like mifepristone and misoprostol in the state—even if federal law or other states ban them. It would protect anyone involved, including doctors, pharmacists, and individuals, from any legal punishment, even for actions taken as far back as 2020.

If this bill passes, California will ignore federal restrictions and become a safe haven for abortion pill access, with little to no oversight. It could set a dangerous precedent by undermining national laws, encouraging the mailing and distribution of abortion drugs across state lines, and making it harder to hold anyone accountable. This bill would expand abortion access in ways that many see as extreme, removing safeguards and inviting legal conflict with other states and the federal government.

Status:  Referred to Senate Appropriations Committee 8/18.
