Gov. Gavin Newsom posthumously pardoned a healthcare provider Friday who was convicted of providing abortions to women in 1949, when it was still criminalized in California
.
“In California, we’re never going back to a time when women were forced to seek basic healthcare in backrooms and underground clinics,” Newsom said. “Laura Miner’s story is a powerful reminder of the generations of people who fought for reproductive freedom in this country, and the risks that so many Americans now face in a post-Roe world.
“I can still hold my head up, and I respect myself because my conscience is clear. I have helped humanity — someday it will be legal for a doctor to help a woman who will then have a right to decide for herself how many children she shall have, and when,” Miner wrote from jail.“Sometimes Laura was given jewelry or fur coats in lieu of payment, often worth much more than she would have charged in cash.
“She was still advocating for social reform with letters to legislators, petitions and peace protests,” Beers wrote.
