Gov. Gavin Newsom launched a billboard campaign in seven of the most restrictive anti-abortion states Thursday, urging women seeking the procedure to come to California for treatment.

"Here is my message to any woman seeking abortion care in these anti-freedom states: Come to California," Newsom said in a news release."We will defend your constitutional right to make decisions about your own health." "These un-American abortion bans -- many of them without exceptions for rape and incest - are literally killing women," the governor continued."The idea that these Republican politicians are seeking to 'protect life' is a total farce."For example in Texas, the billboards read"Texas doesn't own your body. You do," as well as"Need an abortion? California is here to help.
