California lawmakers on Monday approved Senate Bill 106, which allocates $90 million to abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, and other clinics across the state. The measure aims to replace federal funding lost under Trump-era policies that prohibited Medicaid support for abortion services.

Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Hollister) framed the bill as a response to federal actions, claiming the Trump administration is “tearing down healthcare and increasing costs.” He said Democrats are “investing millions in women’s health and maternal care, because families come first in California.”

The legislation now heads to pro-abortion Governor Gavin Newsom for signature. Senate Bill 106 was carried by Sen. John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) and is intended to offset losses from federal cuts targeting abortion providers.

Republican lawmakers criticized the funding, pointing to other healthcare priorities. Assemblyman David Tangipa (R-Clovis) questioned why abortion providers receive millions while more than 60 hospitals in California face potential closure. “Hospitals across our state that deliver high-quality care to women are on the brink of closure,” Tangipa said on the Assembly floor.

The bill has drawn sharp criticism from pro-life advocates, who called the measure a misuse of taxpayer dollars. Many activists expressed outrage that state funds are being directed to abortion providers while other medical facilities struggle to stay open.
