Despite a state commission declaring that California has no competency to distribute RU-486 on campus, the governor has signed it into law. FFL President Serrin Foster released the following statement:
"While Feminists for Life of America celebrates passage of AB-809, which provides protection and assistance to pregnant and parenting students on all California campuses, we already mourn with women on the University of California campuses who will be driven to taking RU-486 once pregnant.

They see their unborn child, passing it at school, home, and many times into our water systems. It is sad and sickening. Women deserve better."

"Unfortunately, I think this is a result of a certain sector trying to have it both ways," remarks Twitter Coordinator Colette Moran.
"Giving lip service to the right to work of those who are pregnant or parenting while insisting pregnancy is merely a choice, those women are surprised when they get, 'Your body, your choice? Then it's your problem!'
"Why should employers have to accommodate pregnancy when women can 'simply choose' to accommodate their employers by never getting pregnant and/or aborting their child, if they do?
"Until all sectors of those fighting for women's rights acknowledge that approach has been a colossal failure, and that we need to approach motherhood as compatible with (almost) any workplace and in the best interest of every company, then change will be painfully slow."
