Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a package of bills that he says are intended to build on California’s record of protecting reproductive rights and expanding access to care.

One of the measures, sponsored by Assemblymember Catherine Stefani (D-San Francisco), increases access to medication abortion by making it available on community college campuses.

Another bill, sponsored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), focuses on military veterans, aiming to address a gap in their healthcare after the Trump administration largely banned the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs from providing abortion services. The measure enables California veterans to access abortion and contraception services through a state program.

“Freedom means being able to make deeply personal decisions without elected officials inserting themselves in pursuit of a political agenda,” Newsom said. “California is protecting that freedom and showing the nation, particularly under increasingly severe attacks by the Trump administration, what is possible when we put patients and people first — not politics.”

The governor announced the signing of the bills on Sunday, saying they will strengthen reproductive healthcare in the state.

One of the bills, introduced by Stefani, expands the ability of certified nurse-midwives to provide care for pregnant and postpartum patients by specifying that supervision by a physician is not required when providing certain services.

The legislation also included a bill sponsored by Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez (D-San Fernando) that aims to expand access to breast pumps and services for nursing mothers through Medi-Cal.

Wayne Rooney is reportedly in ‘advanced talks’ to enter the I’m A Celebrity jungle later this year, with sources claiming the former Manchester United legend will be the biggest signing in the show’s history

Wayne Rooney is set to embark on a reality TV career on I’m A Celeb. It comes almost two years after his wife, Coleen, entered the Australian jungle following years of speculation.

And it’s claimed that the Manchester United legend is already in “advanced talks” with show bosses and could be flying Down Under in the coming months. Sources claim that Wayne is super keen to impress his four sons, Kai, 16, Klay, 13, Kit, 10, and Cass, eight, by taking on the gruesome Bushtucker Trials.

A source claimed: “Wayne is in advanced talks for I’m A Celebrity and if they secure him, he’ll be their biggest signing in the show’s history.”

They added to The Sun on Sunday: “Coleen proved to be hugely popular when she took part two years ago, and bosses think Wayne is going to match her success.

“ITV have been in negotiations with him for some time and are thrilled that they’ve reached this stage.” The publication goes on to claim that Wayne’s wife, Coleen, is expected to join him in Australia, alongside their three youngest sons, to offer support to the former footballer.

An ITV spokesperson told the Mirror: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity are just speculation.” It wouldn’t be the first time that the Liverpudlian had shown his love for the programme. When Coleen entered the camp two years ago, he said he was “proud” of her and encouraged the public to vote for her to take on a trial.

While Wayne enjoyed seeing Coleen show a different side of herself in the camp, the couple later joked that he would take part in the show one day. Now, he wants to give his wife of almost two decades a run for her money.

Last year, Wayne said he was “gutted” that he wasn’t part of the line-up, which consisted of the likes of Aitch, Lisa Riley, Ruby Wax, Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne, Martin Kemp and winner Angry Ginge.

After hearing that Mancunian rapper Aitch and streamer Ginge were entering the camp, Wayne said: “I spoke to him last night, and he was still in England, so I don’t know if he is…

“No, Ginge is a great lad, and I’ve seen who’s linked as well, so if he is in there, I’m sure he’ll be really entertaining. If he’s in it and Aitch is in it as well, I’m gutted that I didn’t go in because I think the three of us could have been real fun in there.

“I’d be all right with the food situation, but I get bored, and some of the challenges, you know, the snakes and there was one a few years ago with the big ostrich. I wouldn’t like that.”

He went on to add: “I love the show and obviously Coleen was in it last year and maybe at some point but not this year, unfortunately.”

The news comes just hours after Wayne revealed he’d made a major change in his life. The pundit explained that he had given up booze, and rather than reaching for the bottle, he now opens up to Coleen about any issues he’s facing.

The Mirror has approached Wayne’s spokesperson for comment.
