SACRAMENTO, CA October 9, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – California Governor Jerry Brown has signed two bills allowing non-physicians to perform abortions and reducing health standards for abortion facilities, saying the new laws “support the health and well-being of women.”
California is the fifth state to allow or not explicitly ban the practice of non-physician abortion, joining Montana, New York, Oregon, and Vermont. California Governor Jerry Brown ran for the Democratic pres California Governor Jerry Brown ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1976, 1980, and 1992.
The bill, A.B. 154, introduced by San Diego Democrat Toni Atkins, would authorize midwives, nurse practitioners, and physicians’ assistants to perform first-trimester suction aspiration abortions.
A study conducted by Tracy Weitz, director of UC-San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health, found that abortions performed by non-physicians had twice the rate of complications as those performed by doctors. However, Dr. Weitz called the difference “clinically equivalent.”
The new law, which originally passed the General Assembly in May, cleared the State Senate last month by a near-party line vote of 25-11. Lou Correa of Anaheim was the only Senate Democrat to vote against the bill.
“The growing shortage of abortion providers creates a significant barrier for women,” said State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara.
The Guttmacher Institute has reported that in 2008 nearly one-third of all the nation's abortion providers, more than 500, worked in California.
In pointed contrast to a growing trend across the nation of tightening health regulations on abortion, Governor Brown also signed a bill lowering standards for abortion facilities.
A.B. 980 by Assemblymember Richard Pan, D- Sacramento, reverses health regulations intended to hold abortionists' offices to the same standards as other surgical facilities. Other states, such as Texas and Virginia, have been increasing office regulations after reading about the filthy conditions of abortion offices like Kermit Gosnell's and others across the nation.
State Senator Mimi Walters, R-Irvine, objected that "lowering standards...does put women's health at risk."
"Why would you lower standards?" fellow Republican State Senator Ted Gaines, R-Rocklin asked. "These are surgical facilities.”
The signature was part of what Governor Brown's office described as a group of “seven bills to support the health and well-being of women in California.”
I live in CA and your right, it is a disgrace..Ronald Reagan wouldnt recognize this state if he were alive today..its gone so far left its beyond saveable at this point..overrun by SEIU thugs, illegals, and Commies no wonder Jerry Brown won..sickening that he would sign this kind of bill but not a shock..I wonder, can we abort Jerry Brown
From the same people whose mindset is a girl can’t bring Midol to school.
It is not about protecting the mother. It is about killing the undesirable, unwanted and inferior. It is eugenics in action.
One million aborted babies per year and still that is not enough for the Liberal Child Death Culture.
What other surgeries will we allow non-doctors to do?
Seriously? Montana is that far gone?
OK, with the relaxed regs, can I abort Moonbeam?
He learned in the seminary to hate women and sodomize men/boys. Note—he is legalizing killing girls/babies and women in botched surgery, and he lusts after little boys—why he is forcing Kindergarden boys to “take Pride” in anal sex and worship creepy pederasts like Harvey Milk-—to warp them, as he was obviously warped in childhood so he is irrational—can not Reason.....and gets aroused by looking at men. He can’t truly “Love”-—he has only used others throughout his life as objects for his pleasure or ends.
He is a practicing Satanist. There is no “Right” to kill genetic offspring or sodomize others-—both are Vice and can never be promoted in a Just System of Rule of Law (God’s Law), All Laws are moral or unconstitutional. Justice is the Queen of Virtue.
Maybe he was one of the Marxist infiltrators in the seminaries to destroy the Church from within.......the ones Bella Dodd wrote about.
Take you anti-Catholic bigotry back to DU.
> would authorize midwives
Sounds like Fahrenheit 451 where the firemen burned books.
This is the guy “conservative” Michael Salvage supported.
