Cal. Penal Code § 3706 — Suspension of Execution of Death Penalty: Insanity: Pregnancy is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
If it is found that the female is not pregnant, the warden must execute the judgment; if it is found that she is pregnant the warden must suspend the execution of the judgment, and transmit a certified copy of the finding and certificate to the Governor. When the Governor receives from the warden a certificate that the defendant is no longer pregnant, he must issue to the warden this warrant appointing a day for the execution of the judgment.
