Lockyer Drops Lungren Ruling on School Clinics
- Share via
SACRAMENTO — An opinion on abortion and birth control counseling issued by Dan Lungren on his final workday as attorney general was withdrawn Wednesday by new Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer.
Lungren’s opinion, issued last Thursday, said that a public school district may operate a health clinic that does not allow pregnancy and abortion counseling or referrals to minors.
Lockyer, a Democrat, said his Republican predecessor’s ruling was rushed through without the normal review accorded formal opinions and that it “does not reflect thorough legal analysis.”
