As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles has an incredible variety of resources. The city is renowned for its large and thriving artist/entertainment, LGBT and immigrant communities, and California overall tends to have progressive laws compared to many other US states. Generally speaking, Los Angeles is a progressive city that is pro-choice, and it has many options to help the uninsured. However, the political scene in Southern California is a more complex picture. There are pockets of the SoCal region, especially in Orange County, that are quite religious and conservative, and this is something to bear in mind.
