Just a little over a week after surviving a recall election, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed into law two abortion rights bills on Wednesday, including one that helps children keep abortions a secret from their parents.
The law, AB 1184, makes it easier for children, teenagers, and young adults on their parents' insurance plans to keep their medical information secret.
According to the California Family Council, the bill which was sponsored by Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California prohibits insurance companies from revealing to the policyholder the "sensitive" services of anyone on their policy, including minor children, even though the policy owner is financially responsible for the services. These "sensitive" services include abortions, sexual assault treatment, drug abuse and mental health treatment, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers.
