U. California President Will Protect Ability to Have Abortions for ‘Pregnant People’
“The outcome of this case could have significant impact on the rights and health of pregnant people throughout the nation.”
It’s truly remarkable how the left has erased women, even from this issue.

University of California president vows to protect abortion for ‘pregnant people’
The University of California system will ensure students can abort their babies, even if Roe v. Wade is reversed this month, President Michael Drake announced at a recent Board of Regents meeting.
Yet a month after making those comments, the UC system won’t explain what specifically Drake (pictured) meant by that. California already has permissive abortion laws and all four-year public universities must begin dispensing chemical abortion drugs in January 2023. Campus health plans also cover abortions at external facilities. Hospitals connected to the university system also commit abortions.
“I’d like to begin this morning by acknowledging an issue that’s on the minds of many of us and that is the leaked draft supreme court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,” Drake said at the May 18 meeting. “The outcome of this case could have significant impact on the rights and health of pregnant people throughout the nation.”
His comments came two weeks after a leaked opinion from Justice Samuel Alito appeared to show the Supreme Court ready to reversed the 1973 court decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states.
He said the UC system is “actively reviewing the potential impacts on our community and operations” which includes “patient care at our hospitals” as well as “research, teaching and public service missions.”
He called this a “significant” and “frightening moment in history.”

“University of California president vows to protect abortion for ‘pregnant people’”
Ketanji Brown-Jackson said this is what happens when a non-biologist makes decisions that concern “women”.
Given that Democrats are always jonesing for increased taxation, it’s kinda weird that they’re so anally-fixated on killing off future taxpayers.
Wacky, huh?
I keep saying Leftists are insane. When you advocate for policy A to achieve B but you get not-B then you’ve entered the insanity of your own reality.
I suppose there is the possibility of a false positive, and the person seeks an abortion with the belief of being pregnant, but actually not a “pregnant person.” Would a woman in that situation have any Constitutional rights in the eyes of President Drake?
