What California Passed in 2025 on Abortion Access—Our Legislative Recap
California once again led the nation in protecting and expanding reproductive freedom.
California’s 2025 legislative session has officially come to a close.
With your help, we championed a bold agenda to strengthen access to abortion care, gender-affirming care, contraception, and comprehensive reproductive health care for everybody in California this year.
We also passed Prop 50, giving us the chance to elect more reproductive freedom champions to the U.S. House next year.
Here are the facts:
We made nearly 20,000 calls and sent 40,000 texts to Prop 50 voters.
11 bills were signed into law protecting reproductive freedom.
45 legislative offices met with our members as they advocated for our sponsored and supported bills.
Our members sent over 13,000 messages to state lawmakers.
Key Victories
Thanks to our volunteers’ tireless advocacy, 11 of our supported bills advancing reproductive freedom were signed into law by Governor Newsom, including AB 260 (Aguiar-Curry), a Reproductive Freedom for All California sponsored bill to protect access to medication abortion in California and shield patients and providers from hostile out-of-state attacks.
Other reproductive freedom bills signed into law include:
AB 45 (Bauer-Kahan)
Protects health data privacy by prohibiting geofencing around health care providers and safeguarding medical records from out-of-state subpoenas.
AB 50 (Bonta)
Advances health equity by removing barriers for Medi-Cal recipients to access over-the-counter birth control.
AB 55 (Bonta)
Tackles the worrying trend of closing birth centers by addressing overly burdensome and extraneous licensure requirements that don’t improve safety.
AB 82 (Ward)
Protects the privacy of sensitive medical data related to both abortion care and gender-affirming care by prohibiting the reporting of testosterone and mifepristone to the state’s prescription drug database.
AB 224 (Bonta) and SB 62 (Menjivar)
Extend coverage for fertility services in large group plans achieved in SB 729—a 2024 Reproductive Freedom for All-sponsored bill—to small group and individual plans.
AB 836 (Stefani)
Improves Californians’ access to reproductive health care providers (midwives) by expanding the number of programs preparing high-quality, culturally responsive maternal healthcare providers.
SB 520 (Caballero)
Expands access to maternal and infant health care by establishing the California Nurse-Midwifery Education Fund to support a new master’s program in nurse-midwifery.
SB 578 (Smallwood-Cuevas)
Makes the California Workplace Outreach Program (CWOP) permanent, and expands it to educate California workers about various kinds of paid leave.
SB 590 (Durazo)
Updates California’s Paid Family Leave program so that California workers can receive paid family leave when caring for a member of their chosen or extended family.
Let’s talk about where we won this year, and what work lies ahead.
These legislative wins mark another year of expanding reproductive freedom in California.
Our work doesn’t stop here though—we’re already starting to lay the groundwork for 2026 to continue fighting for comprehensive reproductive freedom laws.
The Trump administration and anti-abortion extremists continue to attack reproductive freedom across the country—and in the upcoming 2026 state legislative session, we’ll keep fighting for expanded access to reproductive health care, protections for medication abortion, maternity care, and stronger safeguards for patients and providers.
After Our Prop 50 Win
California also has a chance to fight back at the ballot box in 2026.
We recently passed Prop 50, the ballot initiative to temporarily redraw California’s congressional maps to neutralize Trump’s blatant power grab in Texas. Prop 50 gives us an opportunity to recapture five California congressional districts in the 2026 midterm elections.
There’s a lot of work to do next year ahead of the 2026 midterms, and we’re already getting started. We are committed to taking back the U.S. House and stopping the GOP from banning abortion everywhere.
Reproductive Freedom for All will keep organizing, educating, and mobilizing in California—ensuring that everybody, no matter who they are or where they come from, can control their own body and future.
