(SACRAMENTO) – Today, on the 47th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Assemblymember Kamlager (D-Los Angeles) introduced legislation to remove a significant barrier to abortion access – cost. AB 1973, the Abortion Affordability Act, eliminates insurance copays and deductibles for abortion services.

“California is a leader in wildlife protection and yet the state allows bobcats to be killed merely as trophies,” said Kamlager-Dove. “Nobody hunts bobcats as sustenance. The population of these small predators is self-regulating naturally. Hunting these magnificent creatures is not only without practical necessity, it is immoral.”
