California is preparing to spend up to $20 million to bring women from other states to its abortion clinics.

Some protesters sought to contrast Friday's ruling allowing states to make their own abortion restrictions with rulings that limited states' abilities to regulate access to firearms at the rally in downtown San Diego on Friday, June 24, 2022.

Jodi Hicks, CEO and president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, said the change is significant given that state officials have been working for months to increase the state's capacity to provide abortions in the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court decision. State lawmakers in Oregon — anticipating an abortion ban in neighboring Idaho — agreed to spend $15 million to help women seek abortions. So far, $1 million has gone to the Northwest Abortion Access Fund, a nonprofit that helps patients pay for travel and the procedure itself. The fund exhausted its planned operating budget this year amid growing demand for travel aid, according to Riley Keane, practical support lead for the group.
