No restrictions on women's right to choose, not on my watch
The Governor was unequivocal in his Inaugural Address: "To those who would seek to deny a woman her right to choose, let me offer this suggestion: don't waste the Legislature's time trying to pass bills restricting women's constitutional rights.
It simply will not happen on my watch."
Over the last four years, no Governor in America has more vigorously defended the freedom to choose than Governor Davis. Today, California is, hands down, the pro-choice state in America - and proud of it.

Strengthen the reproductive rights of California women
Each and every year, Davis has signed new laws to strengthen the reproductive rights of California women, including:
The Reproductive Privacy Act, ensuring that California stays pro-choice, regardless of whether the US Supreme Court continues to
uphold Roe v. Wade.
The Contraceptive Equity Act, requiring HMOs to cover FDA-approved methods of contraception.
The California Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which cracks down on those who threaten the safety of our clinics.
