This is kind of what Trump does.
He likes to use leverage.
He sees money as leverage.
He also sees force as leverage.
He sees military occupation as leverage.
See LA in June of this year when the National Guard was unlawfully forced
And the Marines were sent in as well.
And then he did that in another blue city, Portland, and another blue city, Washington, D.C., and another blue city, Chicago, while berating them about their alleged public safety issues and complaining about their policies of sanctuary, which they have every right to adopt.
Well, in that regard, we are asserting ourselves in California with respect to our state's rights to decide that abortion is safe and legal.
We've even enshrined it in our state constitution here.
The people of our state decided that there is a constitutional right to an abortion and contraception.
We've created laws that provide the ability for patients to seek and receive and providers to provide safe and legal abortions in California.
And also prevented attempts from other states to sort of engage in long-arm civil and criminal liability laws.
Trying to reach into California and because something that we find completely legal and that is safe in California, but they disagree in their state that there's liability in that other state.
So we've put up a number of different guardrails and protections and legal safe havens in California.
And we think that is all within our rights.
to do so and that our decisions here, the court's decisions here deserve full faith and credit and should be honored by other states.
So we don't see any constitutional problems with our robust lawful commitment to safe and legal abortion in California.
Yeah, there are some prohibitions on, for example, a corporation like, let's say, Apple or Google getting a subpoena from an out-of-state entity about a medical procedure abortion that is completely legal in California.
It's a legal and private procedure.
