Further, this bill will confirm what is unclear in the 2006 legislation, which is that emergency contraception is available under SB 342 for victims of rape and incest prior to when a pregnancy can be clinically diagnosed. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Vetoing SB 342 would not accomplish that end. In fact, vetoing SB 342 would leave fewer exceptions in place than if the bill becomes law and would further confuse whether pregnancy begins at fertilization or implantation. For these reasons, I have signed SB 342 into law. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
