Sen. Nancy Skinner's bill would not let California extradite doctors who are facing charges in another state for providing abortion medication
SACRAMENTO, Calif.Doctors in California who mail abortion pills to people in other states would be protected from prosecution under a new bill to be unveiled Friday in the state Legislature.
State Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Democrat from Berkeley and the author of the bill, said her intent is to make sure California residents who are traveling in other states or living there temporarily — like college students — can still have access to medication that’s legal in their home state. But she acknowledged the bill would also apply to California doctors who treat patients who live in other states.
"Obviously, if a provider is engaging in telehealth services with someone, even if they do inquire about where they are, they kind of have to take it on faith," said Connecticut state Rep. Matt Blumenthal, a Democrat and co-chair of the General Assembly’s Reproductive Rights Caucus. "We don’t want to make providers their police for their patients. And we don’t want to make them have to do an investigation every time they perform telehealth.
"The arrogance of such a proposal is astounding," Conzatti said of Skinner’s bill. "It flaunts the traditional relationship between states and would upend our federal system altogether."
