Anti-Asian abortion ban in California - Take action!
AB 2336 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing— anti-choice lawmakers pretend it’s about protecting women when it really takes away women’s rights. And worse, it exploits and harms the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
Without conclusive evidence, anti-choice politicians are saying Asian immigrants are bringing backward values to the U.S. and practicing sex-selective abortion.
If this passes, doctors will scrutinize the decisions of AAPI women in ways other women aren’t subject to, and may even refuse to provide AAPIs with abortion care. This is racial profiling in the doctor’s office.
VOTE NO ON AB 2336.

VOTE NO ON AB 2336.
Why is this important?
Tomorrow, the California Assembly Health Committee will consider an abortion ban that stigmatizes our community and could lead to racial profiling of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) women in the doctors office. We’re outraged that this is happening in the state with the highest number of AAPIs, and during the first week of Asian American Heritage Month no less.
Tell California lawmakers to reject AB2336.
AB 2336 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. As with similar bans spreading across the country, the people behind AB 2336 consistently vote against women’s rights- including reproductive rights, equal pay, and freedom from gender-based violence. They say this “sex selective abortion ban” is about gender equality, but it’s really about banning abortion. They’re doing it under the pretense of equality to pass it through without a fight.
Worse, AB 2336 stereotypes the AAPI community. Without conclusive evidence, anti-choice politicians are saying Asian immigrants are bringing backward values to the U.S. and practicing sex-selection because they prefer boy children. They’re relying on what is happening in India and China, and on anti-immigrant sentiment, to try and pass this bill on the backs of AAPI women.
If this bill passes, doctors in California may scrutinize AAPI women’s health decisions in ways other women wouldn’t be subject to. They may even decide not to provide us abortion care, out of fear of going to jail and paying heavy fines.
This is unacceptable. Tell California lawmakers to vote NO on AB 2336.
