Three years after the end of Roe, Governor Newsom, First Partner sound the alarm on Trump's "Big, Beautiful" plan to defund Planned Parenthood
What you need to know: Three years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Governor Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom warn that Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" would defund Planned Parenthood and strip millions of Americans — especially low-income women — of access to basic reproductive care.
SACRAMENTO – Three years ago today, the extreme conservative supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion care in this country by overturning Roe v. Wade. Following the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, conservative states across the U.S. passed crushing abortion bans and Republican leaders began working to eliminate access to other reproductive rights, including contraceptives, Mifepristone, and even IVF. Governor Newsom also warned that President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" would effectively defund Planned Parenthood.
"Conservative majorities – from the United States Congress to red states across the country – continue their attacks on reproductive freedom, empowered by the President and Secretary of HHS. Now, they're trying once again to defund Planned Parenthood and make it even harder for low-income people to get basic health care. In California, we will always fight to protect access to care so those who wish to control their own futures can do that here."
Governor Gavin Newsom
"Women are being attacked on so many fronts by this Administration, from reproductive freedom and access to care, to cuts to the public institutions that support families—like our parks, libraries, and schools. Without reproductive freedom, a woman's autonomy—and her family's future—are no longer hers to shape. California will continue to stand up for all women, because when women have control over their own lives and bodies, kids, families, economies, and entire communities thrive."
First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom
Dangers in the "Big, Beautiful Bill"
According to Planned Parenthood, passage of the Congressional Republicans' budget bill would put nearly 200 Planned Parenthood health centers at risk of closing, block 1.1 million patients from essential care like birth control and cancer screenings, and decimate abortion access in all 50 states.

In the years since the Dobbs decision, California has stepped up to lead the way in protecting access to reproductive freedom for people in California and for those who travel to California to access this essential health care:

Newsom actions to protect abortion access
In the years since the Dobbs decision, California has stepped up to lead the way in protecting access to reproductive freedom for people in California and for those who travel to California to access this essential health care:
- May 2025: The 2025-2026 May Revision proposes expanding the authority of CalRx to purchase brand-name drugs. This change gives the state more tools to respond to supply chain disruptions, market manipulation, or politically motivated restrictions that could threaten access to essential medications — including medication abortion.
- May 2024: Governor Newsom signed SB 233 with the Legislative Women's Caucus to allow Arizona abortion providers to temporarily provide abortion care to patients from Arizona who travel to California for care following the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling to reimpose a regressive 1864 law imposing a near-total abortion ban in their state.
- January 2024: The Reproductive Freedom Alliance, led by Governor Newsom, filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Food and Drug Administration, et al., v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, arguing that, if the Court allowed the Fifth Circuit's decision rejecting FDA's approval of mifepristone to stand, it would undermine Governors' ability to provide adequate healthcare services and would have far-reaching implications beyond reproductive healthcare. The Supreme Court sided with the FDA in June 2024.
- May 2023: First Partner Siebel Newsom spoke with the California Legislative Women's Caucus about the State's efforts to protect reproductive freedom.
- April 2023: Governor Newsom procured an emergency stockpile of Misoprostol, a safe and effective medication abortion drug, as legal challenges continue to move through the courts in an attempt to block Mifepristone.
- March 2023: Governor Newsom joined 13 other Governors in calling on major pharmacies to clarify plans for dispensing Mifepristone and other actions they plan to take to safeguard access to reproductive health care drugs.
- February 2023: Governor Newsom launched the Reproductive Freedom Alliance, a coalition of 22 Governors fighting together to protect and advance reproductive freedom.
- January 2023: First Partner Siebel Newsom joined reproductive rights leaders on the steps of the California Capitol to talk about the importance of storytelling, uplifting voices, and sharing lived-experiences when it comes to the fight for reproductive freedom.
- November 2022:
- Governor Newsom posthumously pardoned California abortion provider Laura Miner as a powerful reminder of the generations of people who fought for reproductive freedom in this country.
- Voters pass Governor Newsom and the Legislature's Proposition 1, an amendment to the state constitution to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom – including abortion care and contraception.
- September 2022:
- Governor Newsom launched Abortion.CA.Gov to ensure people across California, and the country, can access essential information regarding reproductive health care, including resources available to support access to care.
- Governor Newsom, working with the Legislature, ensured California passed the largest reproductive freedom bill package in state history, building firewalls around California as a reproductive freedom state.
- June 2022, Governor Newsom:
- Signed legislation to help protect patients and providers in California against radical attempts by other states to extend their anti-abortion laws into California, on the same day Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- Invested over $200 million in reproductive health care. A large amount of these funds have already been disbursed for a variety of community efforts to maintain and increase reproductive health care services.
- Issued an Executive Order protecting all state-held data and information from being used by out-of-state anti-abortion groups to target providers and patients.
