California bill would incentivize ERs to become abortion centers

Just when you think the state of California couldn’t possibly pass more laws hostile to preborn humans, legislators surprise you with three more bills aimed at protecting the direct and intentional killing of preborn children.

Turning ERs into abortion centers

AB 2490, “Reproductive Health Emergency Preparedness Program,” would create an incentivized training program for emergency room medical professionals to learn how to commit abortions. Essentially, this bill aims to turn emergency rooms into abortion facilities, and holds a competition to see which emergency department most achieves this goal.

According to the bill’s text, it “shall work to improve and expand access to the full spectrum of sexual and reproductive health care in California’s emergency departments, including abortion and full-spectrum miscarriage care in emergency departments choosing to provide these services.” In addition, funds would be given “to increase access to timely, evidence-based treatments of pregnancy loss and miscarriage, contraception, emergency contraception, and medical and surgical abortion.”

Furthermore, grants would be awarded to emergency departments “on a competitive basis.” Departments would create minimum standards for awarding grants that “take into consideration efforts identified to increase access to reproductive and sexual health care in emergency departments.” Grants may be used for “piloting the delivery of” the abortion pill in ERs.

The abortion pill is not the standard of care for miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies and can be very dangerous for a woman with an ectopic pregnancy.

Induced abortion — the direct and intentional killing of preborn babies — is not medically necessary even to save a woman’s life. If a woman’s life is in danger and her pregnancy must end, induced preterm delivery and emergency C-sections are not considered induced abortions because they do not involve the intentional killing the child before delivery, nor the intent to simply leave the child to die without appropriate medical care.

If ER doctors are to be properly trained on how to save pregnant women in emergency situations, they should be learning how to safely deliver the woman’s baby and save both lives — not how to kill her child.

Making it easier to build more abortion facilities

AB 2085, “Planning and zoning: permitted use: community clinic” makes it more difficult for local California communities to reject the construction of new abortion businesses.

The proposed bill requires local governments to approve applications for the development of community clinics that provide reproductive health services, including abortions, without discretionary review if they meet certain criteria.

Pro-life organizations argue that the bill disregards the wishes of communities like that of Fontana, California, where hundreds of pro-life activists gathered in June 2023 to protest a proposed Planned Parenthood. The Fontana City Council recently voted to extend its ban on construction in the area of the proposed facility for another year.

Greg Burt, Vice President of California Family Council (CFC), said, “AB 2085 is a direct assault on the ability of local communities to govern themselves and uphold their values. It prioritizes the abortion industry over the rights and concerns of local citizens. This is not just about zoning laws; it’s about preserving the integrity and autonomy of our communities.”

Funding abortion misinformation campaign

AB 2670, “Awareness campaign: abortion services,” would use public taxpayer funding to raise awareness for the state’s pro-abortion website, “abortion.ca.gov,” which indirectly targets pregnancy help centers (which offer tangible resources and aid for women and families and do not commit or refer for abortions) as “fake” or “unsafe.”

The funds would pay to ensure the website is publicized to the general public, healthcare providers, healthcare professional associations and societies, healthcare employees, local public health officers, and local health departments. It details how to get an abortion and attempts to describe how different abortion procedures are carried out without informing women what happens to their preborn babies during each procedure. It also advises women on traveling to California for abortion and tells them how to secure abortion funding.

What it fails to do is provide pregnancy and parenting support to women and families who desire resources to help them embrace life for their babies — things that the allegedly “fake” pregnancy centers do.

ER docs have better things to do than abortions. They treat very sick and dying people daily. This is just bs that they, the docs don't need.

On the other hand, veterinary hospitals will proliferate in Cali, to accommodate the cat ladies’ needs.

Democrats: appalled when a child is murdered in a classroom; celebrate when a child is murdered in the womb.

“On the other hand, veterinary hospitals will proliferate in Cali, to accommodate the cat ladies’ needs.”

I heard something about that the other day. Didn’t Vance call Kamala an old cat lady or something? I missed it what ever it was.

Does not matter because most cat and dog people spay/neuter their animals.

Since Roe died PP has offered a neutering program for men but it’s been very limited in some areas and when every they have a free offer all slots get filled with in a short period of time.

I called this in June, when the Moyle v. United States SCOTUS decision was leaked.

“ERs will essentially become hugely profitable abortion mills. The prices will be astronomical, and insurance/medicare/medicaid will foot the bill.”

Planned Parenthood is virtually giving abortions away compared to what ERs will charge.

If PP moved away from abortions, and focused more on vasectomies and tubal ligations, they’d probably make more money and be less despised than they are now.

Democrats LOVE LOVE LOVE killing babies. It is the most evil and gratuitous show of power that they crave. Destroy beauty and kill innocence. The democrat party way.

Abortions on demand allow men to enjoy unprotected sex without the need for romance, commitment or financial responsibility.

Yep. Abortion is one hell of an evil covenant. For everyone. Especially the poor baby who is killed for convenience.

California politicians worship death and with hell they’re in agreement.

Moloch worshipers rule over much of California.

PP had been offering free vasectomies for a long time.I remember the seeing and article in the year 200, abound environmentalist man getting vasectomies. I remember the story talked about one man who got a free vasectomy from planned Parenthood, and then his girlfriend dumped him because of that.
