[Alito's retirement talk and Dobbs decision] Justice Alito's comments about the Dobbs decision and his potential retirement are a clear indication of the political climate within the Supreme Court. When he tells CBS News that the ruling took "courage," it's not just a simple statement about the decision. It's a signal to those who support the overturning of Roe v.

Wade, and it's also a pointed jab at those who oppose it. Alito knows that his words carry weight, especially in a conservative majority court. The timing of these comments is also telling.

As we're seeing more and more states enact restrictive abortion laws, Alito's statement serves to embolden those who wish to further restrict access to reproductive rights. It's a reminder that the Dobbs decision wasn't just a legal ruling but a strategic move to reshape the future of abortion rights in America. But let's talk about the record here. California, with its robust protections for reproductive rights, stands in stark contrast to the restrictive laws being passed in other states.

While Alito and his allies were tweeting about "courage," we were doing the real work of protecting the health and rights of women and families in our state. The future is being built here, not in the past they're trying to drag us back to. It's clear that the Dobbs decision was a step backward for reproductive rights, but it's also a galvanizing moment for those of us who believe in progress and justice.

So here's my question: How do we continue to push forward and protect reproductive rights in the face of such significant legal and political challenges?

CALIFORNIA
- Gov. Gavin Newsom
"The future is being built here."
