AB 2164 would shield providers from extradition & legal accountability for actions taken in other states. That undermines interstate legal cooperation. @asmnguyen Assembly Member Nguyen Vote NO on #AB2164

AB 2540 expands abortion on community college campuses and treats it as routine healthcare. Students deserve better than policies that ignore the value of human life. @asmnguyen Assembly Member Nguyen Vote NO on #AB2540

AB 1973 lowers medical standards by allowing non-physicians to perform high-risk, later-term abortions. Women deserve the highest level of care—not reduced safeguards. @asmnguyen Assembly Member Nguyen Vote #NOon1973

At a California State Senate hearing on April 7 about a bill authored by @Scott_Wiener to give more time for people to sue health providers who don’t affirm gender identity or orientation, @JonniSkinner spoke about how transitoning irrevocably damaged him.

This bill would put religious counselors at risk by labeling counseling based on biological sex as “harmful” or even “hate.” @angeliqueashby Senator Ashby Vote #NOonSB934

This is a lesson for us all. Stand up, stand for the truth, come what may. Remember, you will probably have to lose before you win.

I’ve been thinking this week about Brian Tingley: a Christian counselor who challenged Washington state’s viewpoint-based counseling ban in 2021. At the time, challenging a counseling ban felt like a cultural “third rail”—especially for a blue state counselor with a reputation to uphold. But Brian knew the harm that would come to families if these bans were upheld. So he sued. Tingley lost at the district court, then at the 9th Circuit. When @ADFLegal appealed to the Supreme Court, three justices favored taking Brian’s case—just one vote shy of a cert grant. Justices Thomas and Alito wrote dissents from the cert denial, noting the importance of the issue—and the fact that it wasn’t going away. They were right. Two years later, we appealed a near-identical case from Colorado: Chiles v. Salazar. This time, the Supreme Court took the case. And just this week, the Court referenced Tingley in its Chiles opinion, ruling 8-1 that Colorado’s counseling ban was an “egregious assault” on First Amendment principles. “The Constitution does not protect the right of some to speak freely; it protects the right of all.” Sometimes—oftentimes—you have to lose before you can win. And no one can predict when the win will come. It’s a matter of simply stepping out in boldness and faith to do what’s right, come what may. I’m deeply grateful to every ADF client who makes that choice—whether they walk the path of Brian Tingley or Kaley Chiles. Win or lose, they stand up. They set their comfort aside. They challenge injustice. It’s people like this who will keep America free.

Now that the governor has opined on accusations of Cesar Chavez's problematic past, I'll look forward to his disclaiming known pedophile, Harvey Milk.
Lance Christensen@lancelands
The biographies of Cesar Chavez are infinite & Dolores Huerta is tied to him in just about all of them. It's a stunning indictment of the "historians" who either didn't find out about these accusations decades ago or knew about them & refused to write about them to leverage their influence. Maybe this is coming out as his words on illegal immigration are coming to the fore & it's easy for the left to stomp on & desecrate the memory of a dead man, eating their own (see: Margaret Sanger) when it's revealed just how depraved they may have been. So, the question is: how many book burnings are the left going to have to expunge his memory? And who's going to author the bill to remove his name from the March state holiday? I presume it's cancelled now? colorincolorado.org/booklist/legac…

A legislator who flips off colleagues in anger is now pushing mandatory “anti-hate” training for nearly every CA employee. A bit ironic.
I wonder if Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Lowenthal's training will include a lesson on hand gestures not to use when angry.
We don't know because the bill doesn't yet define what hate speech is. He said he is still working on it. Despite this, AB 1803 passed out of the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee.
CA Family Council@CAFamily
Asm. Lowenthal’s AB 1803 forces “anti–hate speech” training on small businesses without defining “hate speech,” opening the door to labeling Christian beliefs about gender and sexuality as “hateful.” CFC VP Greg Burt testified in opposition. After recently opposing, and even flipping off our “Save Girls’ Sports” press conference, Lowenthal now wants to police “hate speech”? When given the chance to deny the hand gesture, he didn’t—just complained that Asm. @DavidTangipa & @KateSanchezCA spoke in his district w/out telling him. That tells you everything.

Vacant offices. Disconnected phone lines. 197 hospice agencies registered and licensed in the same building.
@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom administration's oversight of the hospice system is an absolute disaster.

@christopherrufo Why would you sterilize kids that you love? And of course, kids struggling with accepting their own sex have human worth. He is taking Christian values, bastardizing their meaning, and then teaching kids to hate their bodies. When will the public stop falling for this?

James Talarico is a "pastor" in the same way Tim Walz is a "coach." There is something really unsettling beneath the "aw shucks" and "I'll fix your truck" demeanor.

James Talarico is a creep. Interviewer: “Something that you love that’s not family or friends?” Talarico: “Trans kids.” GROOMER.

AB 2223 passed in 2022, 123467. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a person shall not be subject to civil or criminal liability or penalty, or otherwise deprived of their rights under this article, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome, including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death due to causes that occurred in utero.
This means if a woman or abortionist or anyone hurts a child in the womb so the baby dies after birth, no one can be charged. This might happening in a failed abortion attempt, or it might happen to a woman who takes an illegal drug during pregnancy that kills her child before birth, or kills the child after they are born.
The bill does not legalize just killing an infant after birth. Although it just makes it harder to prosecute someone for killing their child after birth, because the coroners report can’t be used as evidence to prosecute anyone.
"103005. (a) The coroner shall, within three days after examination of the fetus, state on the certificate of fetal death the time of fetal death, the direct causes of the fetal death, the conditions, if any, that gave rise to these causes, and other medical and health section data as may be required on the certificate, and shall sign the certificate in attest to these facts. The coroner shall, within three days after examining the body, deliver the death certificate to the attending funeral director.
(b) This section shall not be used to establish, bring, or support a criminal prosecution or civil cause of action seeking damages against any person who is immune from liability under Section 123467. Through its courts and statutes and under its Constitution, California protects the right to reproductive privacy, and it is the intent of the Legislature to reaffirm these protections.”
Who is immune from liability under Section 123467? Go back to the text of the law I quoted at first.
Jay Sekulow isn’t explaining all these details because he is trying to fundraise.

@JohnDoyle This is interesting and worth knowing. But in the end, buses were segregated by race because of racism. So that part wasn't a conspiracy. Too bad you didn't express outrage over that as well.
