This article is about the California, Oregon, Washington states abortion rights coalition. For the American football strategy, see West Coast offense.

The West Coast offensive is a coalition created by the governors of California, Oregon, and Washington to legally defend people from other states seeking an abortion, and to protect medical providers of reproductive care.[1][2][3] It was announced in a tweet & video by governor Gavin Newsom on the morning of June 24, 2022.[4]

The West Coast offensive vowed to expand abortion access and refuse to extradite individuals to other states who receive or aide in abortion services.[5] The coalition also seeks to protect against judicial and local law enforcement cooperation with out-of-state investigations, inquiries and arrests regarding abortion providers, patients and other people who assist with obtaining an abortion or reproductive health services.[6][7]
