California is banning state-funded travel to Ohio over the state’s new law allowing doctors to decline medical services to people on moral or religious grounds. The Ohio measure triggered a 2016 California law that requires the attorney general to prohibit state-funded travel to states that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, according to a Friday press release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California is banning state-funded travel to Ohio over the state’s new law allowing doctors to decline medical services to people on moral or religious grounds.
The Ohio measure triggered a 2016 California law that requires the attorney general to prohibit state-funded travel to states that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, according to a Friday news release from California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The ban takes effect Sept. 30, according to the release. Ohio will become the 18th state to which California won’t pay for travel, according to the release...
...Ohio’s law provides that, “when possible and when the medical practitioner is willing, the medical practitioner shall seek to transfer the patient to a colleague who will provide the requested health care service.”
It also designates that emergency treatment doesn’t qualify for the objections.

It’s going to be so much nicer when the godless half of California slips under the waves of the Pacific ocean.
Good for Ohio. They get to stop faggots and leftards from travelling to their state. This idiot AG should make more “bans” to the other red states..
But it’s just fine for Calif to discriminate against the religious folks.
...
Unless you aren't vaccinated or wrote something salty on Facebook.
California was going to use a chainsaw and cut itself off and walk to Ohio.
Good day to own Nevada property.
This Ohioan approves.
Banning travel to/from other states of this “union”. Can a disillusion of the union be far behind?
Ohio is saying Thank You Kalifornia, thank you thank you thank you. I’m from Michigan, I’m a Wolverine and I say thank you to Kalifornia too. As much as I hate the cheating Suckeyes, I would not even want them to have to deal with Kalifornians.
Better off not to attract Californians to your state. They will only be there for business reasons. And soon, you will have the Texas problem.
Cubafornia.
There’s enough of those people in Ohio already, they’re just clustered in colombus, in fact most of them are clustered very closely around that incredibly ugly horseshoe thing they call a football stadium on Saturday afternoons. Just sayin.
Kalifornia, please stay out of all of the red states. Thank you.
Californication’s commie/Demo politics is as close to an outright dictatorship as is possible without actually using a military against the sheeple (who are milked for the highest taxes in America, too)
the shame is that the state was once a good place to live
well- this is one way to stop people from leaving KKKalifornia....
Can the rest of the country give California its homosexuals and gender lunatics?
How much official state travel between California and Ohio actually occurs?
Sadly it’s only state funded travel that’s banned.
They can still … arrive … here on their own dime.
I’m from Pennsylvania. I’d be happy if California took Richard Levine from us.
