SACRAMENTO – Gov. Newsom is celebrating the signing of two abortion rights bills this week, one that requires insurance companies to hide from parents certain medical services their children are receiving. The other prohibits the videotaping of clients and employees of abortion clinics, but fails to protect pro-life sidewalk counselors who videotape their work for their own protection.
AB 1184, sponsored by Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, prohibits insurance companies from revealing to the policyholder the “sensitive” services of anyone on their policy, including minor children, even though the policy owner is financially responsible for the services.
These “sensitive” services include abortions, sexual assault treatment, drug abuse and mental health treatment, cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, and sex-change operations. In California, minors can consent to all of these sensitive treatments after the age of 12 under certain conditions, and consent to abortions at any age.

“How can moms and dads protect their children if insurance companies deliberately keep them in the dark?” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller. “Parents are responsible for the health and safety of their sons and daughters. Even the best-intentioned medical providers cannot replace the role of mothers and fathers. California should not force doctors to hide the truth about irreversible medical procedures like abortion and sterilizing hormone treatments.”
All nine Republican members of the California Senate agree. They recently sent a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom urging him to veto AB 1184.
“We should be encouraging parents and family to be involved in their children’s lives, not removing them further from it,” states the letter from Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh (R-Rancho Cucamonga) and signed by the other eight Republican Senators.
“This bill, in an effort to further hide information from parents and caregivers, would put policyholders in the impossible position of being financially responsible for bills they did not incur and cannot verify as being legitimate. Additionally, it further limits parents’ abilities to protect their children by removing them from sensitive conversations as early as 12 years old. Parents have a right to be involved in sensitive medical decisions for their young children.”
Governor Newsom also signed AB 1356, which penalizes anyone who photographs or videotapes abortions clinic employees or patients to harass them, but fails to sufficiently protect prolife counselors or peaceful protestors who videotape their own work for their own protection.
“No health care provider or patient should face harassment, either online or in-person. But AB 1356 fails to consider peaceful pro-life advocates who sometimes use body-cam footage to protect themselves and their clients,” Keller explained.

Looks like Satan is running this state.
“Newsom signs law letting kids hide sex operations from parents”
Johnny, you look different today.
My name is Susan.
bump
That’s just great, scumbag
I’m really a girl, doctor.
Are you a rich little girl?
If any of my daughters got so much as hormone therapy, lives would be at stake.
If your employer can force you to prove you've taken an emergency-only approved vaccine, but a minor doesn't even need the parents' permission to try to change her curves into flats or her inny into an outey ... you might be a Democrat.
You can cut your dick off at 12, but can’t buy whiskey or drive?
I don’t see how you hide a surgery from your parents to begin with!
Will school “nurses” be counselling minors on how they are feeling about themselves, and what “options” might be recommended to help?
May have to redefine the phrase, “Dystopian Future”.
(All the cool kids are doing it you know”...)
Satan is RUNNING AMERICA.
California couldn’t scrape Newsom off its shoe.
Same for my boys.
Sick and evil.
And you have to pay for their perversion.
I don’t care what Newsom’s new law says, this violates natural law.
Folks like him need their tongues ripped out through their a$$holes. . . .
The last straw. If any politician ever needed to be removed from office - by any means necessary - it’s this guy.
And when Republicans had a majority in both houses of Congress, and the White House, what did they do to stop this?
