"Existing law, the Reproductive Privacy Act, provides that
every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect
to reproductive decisions. Existing law provides that the state shall
not deny or interfere with a woman’s right to choose or obtain
an abortion prior to viability of the fetus, as defined, or when
necessary to protect her life or health. Existing law specifies the
circumstances under which the performance of an abortion is deemed
unauthorized.
This bill would enact the Reproductive FACT
(Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency) Act,
which would require a licensed covered facility, as defined, to
disseminate a notice to all clients, as specified, stating, among
other things, that California has public programs that provide
immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning
services, prenatal care, and abortion, for eligible women. The bill
would also require an unlicensed covered facility, as defined, to
disseminate a notice to all clients, as specified, stating, among
other things, that the facility is not licensed as a medical facility
by the State of California.
The bill would authorize the
Attorney General, city attorney, or county counsel to bring an action
to impose a specified civil penalty against covered facilities that
fail to comply with these requirements."
