AB 260 (Aguiar-Curry) (OPPOSE) expands abortion access in California by blocking enforcement of other states' abortion restrictions and protecting doctors, pharmacists, and clinics from legal consequences for providing abortion services. It allows the use of abortion pills beyond FDA-approved guidelines, mandates insurance coverage, and relaxes requirements for telehealth and Medi-Cal abortion procedures. The bill also eliminates key safeguards by deleting a law that would require parental notification before a minor’s abortion, removing penalties for assisting in a “criminal abortion,” and scrapping manufacturing and labeling requirements for abortion drugs. While framed as protecting access, AB 260 lowers medical standards and oversight, raising serious concerns about patient safety and transparency in California’s abortion policies.
