New York – The governor of California he wasted no time. Immediately after the revocation of the right to abortion enshrined in the Supreme Court, on Friday the Democrat Gavin Newsom signed the law ‘AB 1666’ which reinforces the protections in the civil trial for women, doctors and anyone helping to carry out an interruption of pregnancy. “This is the world we live in – he commented – this is what is happening in this country”.

California does prepare
“In California – he added – abortion is legal and will remain so. We will not collaborate with any state that will try to prosecute women and doctors ”. The ‘Sanctuary’ on the west coast is preparing to welcome thousands of new “refugees”, caravans of women arriving from other states, ready for long journeys to undergo termination of pregnancy. Illinois and Kansas also await a boom in new arrivals. And so is Colorado, one of the few that has no limitations. Dozens of clinics are gearing up in anticipation of an increase in patients even five times over the average for the year.
The “sanctuary states”
California leads the front of the Member Sanctuary. Here, girls under eighteen don’t even need parental consent to have an abortion. And insurance companies are obligated to cover patients’ medical bills. This does not mean that they are always free, but they cannot cost the patient more than $ 900. From 2023, however, abortion will be completely free for all. Since the release of the draft of the device of the Supreme Court, Democrats launched a series of polls across the country to understand what Americans were feeling. They have received clear signals: some institutions have reported up to 80 percent of consent for abortion. The data is seen from an electoral point of view: in November there will be the Midterm elections for the renewal of the Congress. The forecasts, until before the decision of the Supreme Court, gave the Republicans a clear advantage both in the House and in the Senate, but with the abortion issue everything can change.

The democratic challenge
According to the Center for Reproductive Rights, a nonprofit for women’s rights, including abortion, more than 58 percent of women of childbearing age – equivalent to forty million people – live in states opposed to abortion. Because of this Newsom he wants to make California the “spot state” to revive the Democrats. To pass a law that restores the right to abortion at the federal level, the approval of the House, where the dem are the majority, and of the Senate, where the situation is equal, is needed. Sixty votes are needed here, liberals have fifty. Reaching the key quota is almost impossible, but from Friday perhaps it is a little less so.
