Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is attacking pro-life Christians.
She has criticized pro-life Christians and evangelicals as living in an “evangelical, conservative silo” that is “pulling us back as a country.”
Meanwhile, Newsom is arguing that the term “pro-life” should be redefined to mean government-funded social programs rather than protecting unborn children from abortion.
In a 2022 interview with journalist Elex Michaelson of a local Los Angeles station, Siebel Newsom promoted her documentary “Fair Play” on gender roles in the home and praised progressives for redefining the meaning of “pro-life.”
“I appreciate that so many people, so many progressives, are leaning into redefining what pro-life is really about, and that’s what we’re doing in California,” Siebel Newsom said. “You know, pro-life is about prenatal care and universal preschool and universal after-school and universal healthcare and taking care of foster kids and feeding, you know, universal meals and childcare. Like, that’s pro-life. It’s not conception.”
She went on to criticize those she described as being on the far right.
“They’re living in this silo, this evangelical, conservative silo that, ultimately, is just pulling us back as a country to a time and a place where we don’t deserve to be, and we’re not going to be,” Siebel Newsom said. “Because honestly, young women and fathers of daughters are awake now, and they’re woke, and they’re not going to let us go back.”
Siebel Newsom added that she has “so much hope because of that, and obviously California has a huge responsibility to lead.”
The clip resurfaced this week and drew fresh attention online as California continues to position itself as a leader in expanding abortion access through taxpayer funding.
Last month, at a bill-signing ceremony for Senate Bill 106, which provides $90 million in one-time emergency funds to Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses to kill more babies, Newsom scolded reporters for focusing questions on topics such as the state’s failed high-speed rail project and the governor’s planned trip to Munich rather than the legislation.
“We just find it incredulous that we have Planned Parenthood here, and women are 51% of the population,” she said. “And the majority of the questions — all of these questions — have really been about other issues. So, it’s just fascinating.”
Pro-life advocates have condemned the $90 million allocation as an effort to celebrate and subsidize abortion at a time when many Americans support greater protections for unborn children. Not every woman views the expansion of abortions as advancing women’s interests.

Yes, pulling us back from the brink of hell.
America needs to be pulled back.
Buzy Ditch lives in a bubble so thick, she seemingly cannot see Calif as the dumpster fire that it really is...
May God save the US if Newsome gets into the POTUS seat
Isn’t she the one accused of stealing from her GMO?
She sounds like she’s got a lot of street light on the corner jobs.
I’ve had enough lectures from scuzzballs....
She resembles Tampon Tims crazy wife. Maybe wa=e can turn the page on them!
They want to re-define ‘pro-life’?
Go ahead - the more honest term can be used instead -
‘Anti-murder’.
Pulling us away from Molech worship.
“Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is attacking pro-life Christians.” Like some doctors attack the lives of babies? Jennifer it’s called murder.
Mr. and Mrs. Newsome support stabbing babies in the back of the head. Pure evil death dealers.
“...obviously California has a huge responsibility to lead.”
Yeah, obviously. Such arrogance!
Huh? Okay, where’s the real wife? Too bad this won’t help the used car guy win. Despite his handicap and raising himself on bologna and white bread.....
Not just arrogance. Bordering on sociopath narcissism.
It must be wonderful to be so smart, to understand the motives and sympathies of persons she probably has no regard for whatsoever.
It’s like CA is stuck in the ‘70s, only worse. But how can that be when Newsom couldn’t even grow a mustache back then?
Shut it Jennifer.
“It must be wonderful to be so smart, to understand the motives and sympathies of persons she probably has no regard for whatsoever.”
That’s the hallmark of all leftists and progressives, isn’t it? They always know better than you about how your life should be run. There’s nothing they don’t know about making the world utopia.
But to narcissistically put your state on the pedestal like that, above all others!? Sheesh. These people always have zero self-awareness.
Exactly.
