California challenge to federal abortion law undecided after three years, San Francisco Chronicle reports
A California challenge to a federal abortion law that denies all federal funding through the annual health spending bill to a state that ``discriminates'' against physicians, hospitals or insurers that do not offer abortions or abortion referrals remains undecided after three years, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
A release from the Governor's office says he has signed into law HB 1217, requiring a pregnant woman seeking an abortion to submit to a 3-day wait period during which time she must receive state-mandated information to better insure that her decision to terminate is not coerced.
