California State Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez (D-Los Angeles) is sponsoring legislation that would criminalize undercover reporting of misdeeds occurring at abortion facilities. The bill A.B. 1671, imposes penalties of up to a year behind bars and/or a $2,500 fine for a first offense.
"Abortion is an endorsed practice in this state," Gomez said. "We need to protect its providers from harassment by those who oppose it."
Gomez cited "the horrendous invasion of privacy perpetrated by the Center for Medical Progress' undercover videos of Planned Parenthood's negotiations for the sale of baby parts as the primary inspiration for this legislation. The contention that these sales were illegal doesn't justify the despicable methods used to expose this great organization to unwanted publicity and potential prosecution."
"The actions of the Center for Medical Progress have already had a 'chilling effect' on the industry," the Assemblyman warned. "If we do not act an incalculable number of unwanted children could be born to who knows what cumulative destructive consequence."
