In the wake of an undercover investigation into Planned Parenthood’s alleged fetal trafficking operation, the California state legislature is considering a bill that would criminalize publishing secretly recorded video footage of “health care providers.”
AB 1671, which has been backed by Planned Parenthood, would criminalize the publication of confidential interactions with state-licensed medical personnel, including abortionists and clinician staff, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine per violation.
Introduced by Los Angeles Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, the bill has received criticism from both pro-life activists and those who worry about its potential to chill free speech and investigative journalism.
Lila Rose, president and founder of Live Action, said the Planned Parenthood-backed legislation is an effort to decrease transparency at the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“For years, undercover journalists have documented Planned Parenthood employees covering up for sex traffickers, failing to report child sexual abusers, and trafficking in baby body parts,” Ms. Rose said in a statement. “Rather than be more transparent with the public, Planned Parenthood wants to make it a crime for the media to publish evidence that it might be doing something illegal.”

Except if you’re an alien. Then you can film whatever you want.
Laws are for the subjects of California, not their immigrant overlords.

This is what you get when you allow a Hispanic to immigrate! They are all Socialist/Marists who know nothing, nor care anything about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Just dress up like the opposite sex and crash the joint.
What a world in which we live. Protect and encourage baby butchers, screw up children with phony ideas of “gender,” value animal & plant life more than human life. Insanity.
This is what CA low-IQ pols do.

It’s embarrassingly stupid.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
John 8:44
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Then what does this say about the CA electorate?
Then throw out evidence obtained via undercover video footage by law enforcement agencies while you’re at it.../s
Can’t say it enough: In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
And when it is a crime to reveal a crime then you are ruled by criminals.
The CA electorate is generally ignorant of issues outside of liberal bumper-stickerisms and votes for people whose names they have heard before. That’s about it.
So nice to know my country has moved into Nazi territory. Why did we fight WWII? As my dear friend Sidney Zion used to say: Hitler won!
Of course they would.
Its crazy, the Democrats are moving closer to a fascist type of government with each new law
I like Voltaire.
To understand who rules over you just see who you can’t criticize
Abortion is not health care.
In the meantime PP can pay off the legislators who pass the legislation with OUR federal dollars that we are assured aren’t used for abortions. No siree - not one dollar for abortions but a lot of dollars for bribes.
All is right with the world then, I guess!
