SACRAMENTO -- A California Senate committee will hold a hearing Wednesday on a Planned Parenthood sponsored bill to force insurance companies to hide medical procedures given to minor children from their parents.
These so-called 'sensitive' services include abortions, sexual assault treatment, drug abuse and mental health treatment, cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers and sex-change operations.
In short, Planned Parenthood wants parents to pay for major services for their children, but doesn’t want them to know what they are or that Planned Parenthood may provide them.
So far, a majority of California legislators like AB 1184. The bill, authored by Assemblyman David Chiu (D - San Francisco), passed the Assembly last month with a vote of 59 to 11, with six not voting.
Three Republicans voted yes; Assembly members Devon Mathis, Suzette Martinez Valladares, and Jordan Cunningham.
“Legislators should not be helping Planned Parenthood undermine parents’ rights to guide and oversee the healthcare of their children,” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller.
“Transparency matters. The owner of an insurance policy deserves to know what medical procedures they are paying for.”
The Pacific Justice Institute opposes the bill, in particular to defend transparency in medical billing.
“In an effort to further hide information from parents and partners, the bill would put policyholders in the impossible position of being financially responsible for the bills they did not incur and cannot verify as being legitimate,” wrote PJI Senior Staff Attorney Matthew McReynolds in an AB 1184 opposition letter.
McReynolds thinks the bill is ideologically driven and will wreak havoc within families.
“Already, state law gives minors the ability to consent to a variety of medical and psychological services while keeping parents in the dark, depriving parents of the ability to fully care for children who they may not know are in crisis,” he said.
“Expanding the State-sponsored deception and reducing transparency only adds insult to injury.”
AB 1184 has been assigned to the Senate Health Committee with a hearing scheduled for July 7th.
Greg Burt is director of capitol engagement for the California Family Council.
Orwellian!
Californication … never more accurate than now.
This is outlandish!
Insanity runs supreme in liberal californicate.
The Sacto Capital building needs an earthquake when in session. This is evil tyranny.
If the best way to reduce sex trafficking of minors is to allow a middle-aged man to bring his pre-teen toy into an abortion "clinic" and get her fixed without her parents or the police being notified ... you might be a Democrat.
Don’t give your children their insurance number. I think HIPAA would prevent a cold call to an insurance company from PP trying to obtain the numbers. I would not even tell my kids what insurance they had ( unless it is Kaiser, that would be difficult to hide).
Addadicktomy surgery can’t change sex.
When the school nurse takes a student for an abortion, the school should get the bill.
I’m surprised! I thought they would have already implemented this kind of law. After all, the immediate goal is to eliminate parental oversight over one’s children, but to keep the financial, criminal and civil responsibility.
You have to keep feeding the kid even if he/she/it comes home one day as the other sex, and hands you the bill.
It’s to destroy the family. Communism tried to destroy the family. Liberalism has had some success in this, and is still chipping away.
When will babies be made exclusively in test tubes and brought up solely by the State? There was a movie, whose name I forget.
“When the school nurse takes a student for an abortion, the school should get the bill.”
The school should get that sh*t sued out of them, and so should the nurse.
The don’t do this in sane countries, like China, Russia, Iran or North Korea.
It’s not just California. This will be national in several years.

I fear you are right. If you want to see the future, look to California.
That’s what the DNC is probably hoping for.
