Abstract

States and localities are beginning to declare themselves “sanctuaries” for abortion seekers.

In June, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law new provisions to immunize anyone who may face out-of-state civil actions for providing, assisting or receiving abortion care, proclaiming “We’ll be a sanctuary,” “Come to Chicago,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said hours after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v Wade. “We will protect you.”
