Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, started a billboard campaign in seven states to tell people on how to seek abortion services there.

USA Today published a centrist article about how billboards are running in eight states that have moved to restrict abortion access. Gov. Gavin Newsom: "We will defend your constitutional right to make decisions about your own health". Newsom shared images of the billboards on Twitter, tagging the governors of the individual states.

A left-leaning article from the Washington Post highlights that California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been critical of Republican governors in several policy areas. He's accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other GOP governors of being "bullies". Newsom faces state Sen. Brian Dahle in November's election, and polls show him ahead.

A right-leaning article from National Review highlights the ads themselves. “Texas doesn’t own your body. You do,” reads an ad featuring a woman in handcuffs, despite the fact that no pro-life laws punish women who receive abortions. Another says “Need an abortion? California is ready to help” and includes a verse from the Gospel of Mark: “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no greater commandment than these.” Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are seen as potential future presidential candidates.
