California is giving Planned Parenthood $140 million to help keep 109 clinics open after Congress cut funding for the health system in July. Gov. Gavin Newsom said the move reflects the state's commitment to abortion and reproductive healthcare. Lawmakers will take up the issue of continued funding when the Legislature convents in January. Several clinics in California have closed or will stop offering primary care services. The nonprofit needs about $27 million a month to operate all of its local facilities. California is the fourth state — after Washington, Colorado and New Mexico — to pledge public funds to Planned Parenthood. Republicans have criticized Planned Parenthood for decades for offering contraceptive and abortion services.
Clinics, advocacy groups and individuals who share abortion-related content online say they are seeing informational posts being taken down even if the posts don't clearly violate the platforms' policies. The groups, in Latin America and the U.S., are denouncing what they see as censorship even in places where abortion is legal. Companies like Meta say their policies have not changed, and experts attribute the takedowns to over-enforcement. But abortion advocates say the removals have a chilling effect even if they are later reversed, and navigating platforms' complex systems of appeals is difficult, if not impossible.
