A bill that would require public university health centers to offer medical abortions has moved forward to California Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk for final approval.

Senate Bill 320 was presented to the governor on Monday, Sept. 10. If passed, all CSU and UC campuses would be required to provide the medication starting in January 2022.

SB 320 passed through several committees before receiving a final approval from the senate floor on the second-to-last day before the legislature adjourned. The bill passed with 26 yes votes, 13 no votes and one vote not recorded.

The bill, introduced by Sen. Connie Leyva (D-Chino) in February of 2017, was first created to be completely addressed by the legislature within one year, but was extended to a two-year bill to allow more time for changes. Though the author, Leyva, said the changes made to the bill were minimal.

“We took the time to perfect the bill along the way to make it better,” Leyva said.

Schools would be given a $200,000 grant to pay for the costs under the Commission on Status of Women and Girls. The money would come from several sources, including private funds and local and federal government agencies.

These funds will be directed to training staff for abortion-by-medication techniques and toward funding 24-hour hotlines for student patients.

Schools will not be required to use general funding or student fees for medical abortions before the bill takes effect in 2022, but Toni Molle, CSU spokesperson, said that there are concerns regarding funds.

“One-time funding for training and equipment does not address the need for the ongoing training and maintenance necessary to ensure student safety,” Molle said in an email.

Molle also said if the bill is made into law, CSU campuses will have to establish agreements with local hospitals in case students experience complications from the medication, as healthcare staff at CSU campuses are not equipped to handle those situations.

These concerns resonate with students like Sacramento State senior Marcella Braun.

“I personally don’t think it’s right,” Braun said. “I’m OK with Plan B and contraceptive pills and stuff, but I feel like if it’s that late in a pregnancy, it should be done at an actual doctor.”

Health Services at Sac State did not have any comment involving SB 320, as it is still pending approval.

According to a report published August 2018 by the Journal of Adolescent Health, an estimated 209 to 337 medical abortions are conducted per month on female CSU students. For Sac State students alone, about 14 to 22 medical abortions are done each month.
