Wolk’s measure, SB 1006, was approved Wednesday by the Senate Education Committee on a vote of 7 to 2.

Abortion orders of magnitude more Americans than "gun violence."

Just saying.

Just what the country needs. Another Leftwing propaganda mill paid for by the taxpayer and built by a bunch of this guy Wolk’s cronies.

California *could* do the rest of the country a favor: Lock up Pelosi, Boxer, and Feinstein; then go away.

No, No! I want our taxes to go to studies on shrimp fighting or something equally as important to humanity! But, it is CA so it is understandable. We are still suffering the consequences of acquiring CA - can’t we give it back to Mexico and call it even?

If the research is legit, I don’t think they’re going to like the outcomes concerning criminal gun use demographics.

If indeed it was their parents. Given the 75% born-out-of-wedlock figure (in conformation to the Communist Manifesto’s dogma of “abolition of the family”), it would be more likely a laissez-faire grandparent or older kids on “the street”.

CDC statistics for 2011

Abortions = 730,322

Firearm homicides = 11,208

For each death by firearm there were 65 babies killed by abortion

I pray for a devastating 9.9 Richter earthquake that will completely destroy every square inch of California, except for Fresno. Not one survivor. Not one building. All of California, sliding into the sea, leaving Fresno as an island.

Here’s a thought: How about a “Violence Research Center”?

Are they going to start with LBJ’s Great Society? That is where this all stems from.

Pay people to have children, remove the man from the house thereby denigrating marriage and two parent households and continue to make excuses for the results of this tragedy.

What makes people from California think their research would apply in places like North Dakota, Montana or Wyoming, for instance? Different culture, especially in the cities.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. …
Not enough people spoke out against LBJ in this particular context when he created that welfare system. Such damage he did.
