After Gov. Newsom Approved $90 Million for Planned Parenthood, His Wife Scolded Journalists

California allocates $90 million from the general fund to maintain Planned Parenthood services after federal cuts, supplementing $140 million allocated last year.

  • On Wednesday in Sacramento, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation to expedite a $90 million one-time emergency grant to Planned Parenthood, joined by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom and Jodi Hicks, president of Planned Parenthood California.
  • After federal funding was cut, Senate Bill 106's author, Sen. John Laird, said California's $90 million emergency fund shows the state won't back down.
  • More than 80% of the nearly 1.3 million annual patient visits to Planned Parenthood in California were reimbursed by Medi‑Cal, and last week at least 23 clinics closed.
  • The $90 million grant will guarantee STD services, cancer screenings, abortions and other women's health care will continue, supplementing last year's $140 million; Republican lawmakers criticized the exclusive, fast-tracked award, with only two Republican legislators voting in favor.
  • Gov. Gavin Newsom said stronger-than-expected state revenue growth enabled the $90 million grant, while critics including Sen. Megan Dahle, R-Bieber, and Assemblymember David Tangipa urged prioritizing over 60 hospitals at risk.
