California attorney general warns town against abortion ban as governor signs 13 reproductive health bills
CBSN
A city in California is considering legislation that would ban abortions within the city. In response, California Attorney General Rob Bonta warned Temecula's city council not to pass such legislation, threatening legal action if it attempts to go above state law.
In a letter sent Friday to the city's mayor and council, Bonta emphasized that local laws cannot conflict with state laws.
"The California Legislature and the California Supreme Court have declared time and again that California is a reproductive freedom state and that Californians have a right to access abortion," the letter said.
