In September, the Texas abortion law was voted through, which means that abortion is banned from week six.
The law also gives private individuals unique opportunities to report and sue performers of abortions - and make money from it.
- It is a kind of legal feud where you transfer responsibility from the state to citizens.
This means that you avoid legal difficulties, says Karin Henriksson, author and journalist, who has been based in Washington DC for 30 years.
The governor upset on Twitter
The controversial abortion law in Texas has recently been tried by the US Supreme Court, where it gained legal force.
Something that upsets California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom.
Following the HD decision, he wrote on Twitter:
"If that's the Supreme Court's precedent, we'll have California citizens sue those who put 'ghost guns' (weapon kits assembled at home) and automatic weapons on our streets."
A bill will be drafted with the state legislature.
Among other things, the governor wants private individuals to be able to earn up to 10,000 dollars by suing gun manufacturers whose weapons have been involved in acts of violence, reports The Guardian.
But the governor's statement can also be seen as "a political balloon".
- He will stand for re-election next year and he is probably aiming for the presidential election in 2024. Some accuse him of democratic strife and because he stands for very tough legislation on weapons, says US expert Karin Henriksson.
Bills are likely to be delayed
It can take a long time before a bill in California can be on the table.
- It takes many months to prepare a proposal, but if they do, it will probably go through in the state.
But then there will probably be big challenges from the gun lobby and go on to the Supreme Court, just as it did in Texas, says Karin Henriksson.
