I thought surely someone would've posted this news yesterday, but since nobody else has:
SACRAMENTO – Giving California women more access to abortion, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Wednesday that allows nurse practitioners and certain other non-physicians to perform the procedure during the first trimester of pregnancy.
…Neither Brown nor his staff would comment on his acceptance of the bill, which extends the authority to perform abortions by vacuum aspiration to nurse practitioners, certified nurse-midwives and physicians' assistants.
The measure requires the non-physicians to complete specified training and comply with standardized medical protocols for the non-surgical procedure.
