Gavin Newsom's Case for a More Aggressive Democratic Party

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : "That was kind of the point I was making [at Planned Parenthood]: Is anyone paying attention to what's going on?
48% : Newsom pledged that, however the Court ruled, California would ensure legal access to abortion.
48% :The "existential" question, Newsom said, is how to preserve the rights that conservatives are targeting, which he believes will extend beyond the current list to same-sex marriage, contraception, and even interracial marriage.
45% : On May 4, two days after Politico rocked Washington by revealing the draft of a Supreme Court decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, California Governor Gavin Newsom delivered remarks at a Los Angeles Planned Parenthood office -- and triggered a small earthquake of his own.
41% : But it was something else he said that really stood out: Republican-controlled states are moving not only to restrict or outlaw abortion if the Court allows it, he said, but also to ban books, restrict how teachers can talk about race, make voting more difficult, and target LGBTQ rights through measures like Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.
39% : Many states acting to limit or ban abortion have removed once-common exemptions for victims of rape or incest.
35% : The Justice Department has filed or joined legal suits against Republican-controlled states on issues including abortion, voting rights, bans on transgender girls participating in sports, and heightened penalties for public protest.
33% : He is open to reforming or eliminating the Senate filibuster, which Republicans have used to kill House-passed legislation on voting rights, LGBTQ equality, and abortion.
19% : Biden has criticized restrictions on abortion and voting, as well as Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.
