California attorney general accuses Beverly Hills of illegally blocking abortion clinic

Source: Politico

“The city of Beverly Hills will have to start training employees on abortion protections under a judgment issued Thursday by state Attorney General Rob Bonta, who accused city officials of violating state law by blocking the opening of an abortion clinic. The so-called stipulated judgment, under which Beverly Hills did not admit wrongdoing but agreed to certain terms, is the first time Bonta’s office has taken action to enforce the state’s constitutional right to abortions, approved by voters under Proposition 1 in 2022. Bonta said during a press conference Thursday that the city took a ‘two-pronged’ approach to blocking the clinic, both by delaying permits and pressuring the landlord.” (10/31/24)
