Chemical abortions OKed at some student health centers

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation Oct. 11 that mandates student health centers of the University of California and California State University systems offer what are known as medical or chemical abortions — reportedly making the state the first with such a requirement. 

According to pro-life physicians and others, the chemical abortion process is riskier to a woman’s health than surgical abortion.

The California Family Council (CFC) — a partner organization of the California Southern Baptist Convention — worked with other pro-life organizations in an effort to prevent passage of the mandate.

CFC President Jonathan Keller said the governor “has chosen the accolades of abortion activists over the safety of students.” (BP)
