California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed bills AB 1356 and AB1184 will allow children as young as 12 years to get abortions without parental authorization beforehand.
Under the guise of privacy, Newsom cuts out parents in this important procedure. It will be a real plus for child sex traffickers.
โCalifornia has been a leader in protecting access to sexual and reproductive rights, but as weโve seen recently with unprecedented attacks on these rights, we can and must do more,โ Newsom declared in his statement.
โI applaud the establishment of the California Future of Abortion Council and look forward to its important work to advance our stateโs leadership on this vital issue. Iโm proud today to sign these two bills that demonstrate our dedication to strengthening and further protecting access to reproductive health care services in California,โ heย declared.
Bill AB 1356 criminalizes anyone photographing patients or providers within 100 feet of a reproductive health services facility. AB 1184 keeps patient information secret if they arenโt policyholders โ including children.
Services kept confidential include โreproductive health care and gender-affirming care,โ according to Newsomโs statement.
However, for now, parental permission is still required for gender-transforming surgery.
Abortions are not healthcare.
AB-1184 blocks health insurers from requiring authorization from a childโs parent(s) to get an abortion. The bill makes it illegal for any communications, information, or receipts to be divulged to the parents unless the child gives their authorization beforehand.
NEWSOM’S VALUES
Newsom complained of โwhat is going on in this country todayโ and made note of Texasโs Heartbeat Act.
He also complained that Donald Trump hired federal judges who were white and conservative who are united โagainst the principlesโ they stand for. Why mention โwhite?โ Newsom’s comments are very gratuitous and racist.
โThese are dark days. I donโt think one can understate the consequential nature of the moment that we are living in,โ Newsom insisted. โIt becomes of outsized importance that California asserts itself.โ
There are only nine Republican members in the California Senate and they donโt have a voice, although they objected to parents not being involved. It also means policyholders are responsible for procedures they did not approve.
