Measure would open up domestic shelters and girls locker rooms to disturbed bio malesFrom Sophia Lorey/CFCSan Diego -- Instead of protecting the rights of women and girls, the San Diego Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will vote on a radical ordinance that will take opportunities away from women and girls, while also putting them at risk. This ordinance will redefine "women and girls" to include men and boys. The measure would create in the County of San Diego a local implementation of the United Nations Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Here you can...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Pastors and congregations plan to show up at the state capitol by the hundreds Tuesday to persuade state legislators to vote “no” on a bill that decriminalizes infanticide. Not only will they visit the individual offices of their legislators, but they will also testify against AB 2223 during a hearing scheduled in the Assembly Health Committee at 4 p.m. on April 19th. The crowds are coming in response to the coordinated efforts of three organizations, Real Impact, Capitol Resource Institute, and the California Family Council, who invited pastors, congregants, and pro-life citizens from around California to attend...

Police could be sued for arresting baby killersBy Greg BurtSACRAMENTO, CA -- Gov. Gavin Newson's abortion council dropped a legislative bombshell. The group of policy makers intend not only to codify the killing of unborn children throughout all nine months of pregnancy but to decriminalize killing newborns days or weeks after birth. New language added to AB 2223 last week revealed the disturbing intent. The proposed legislation would shield a mother from civil and criminal charges for any “actions or omissions” related to her pregnancy, “including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.” Although definitions of "perinatal death" vary, all...

Daughter taken from mom, who was banned from talking about GodBy Greg BurtAn immigrant mother living in Los Angeles has revealed publicly that her 16-year-old daughter killed herself after public school employees, doctors and the courts fed the troubled teen lies about her identity. This progressive ideology promoted by legislative leaders, that one’s gender is separate from biological sex, is driving some mentally struggling teens to despair and leading many others to destroy their reproductive systems with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. California teachers, gender counselors and judges tell parents that affirming their child’s self-perception without question is the only...

By Greg Burt/CFCSacramento, Calif. - State Sen. Scott Wiener is upset that some medical personnel won't provide sterilizing drugs and surgeries to trans-identified Californians or use their preferred pronouns. So the San Francisco Democrat introduced SB 923 to put pressure on those holding to traditional and biblic views on gender. The bill forces all medical and health insurance personnel to attend transgender “cultural competency training” classes. Those who fail to provide “trans-inclusive health care” will have to repeat the training over and over. “It’s simple: transgender, gender non-comforming and intersex people deserve the same quality of healthcare that everyone else...

From Greg Burt, CFCSacramento, Calif. -- A Christian physician is suing the state of California in federal court lover a recently signed law that forces doctors to facilitate a terminally ill person’s desire to kill themselves. The lawsuit, filed last week by Alliance Defending Freedom and the Life Legal Defense Foundation, accuses the state of violating the First Amendment free speech and religious liberty rights of physicians by compelling them “to choose between abandoning their livelihoods or obeying government commands that violate their religious conscience and compel them to speak and act in ways that contravene their religious faith.” “California’s...

SANTA ROSA — A North Bay county with California’s strictest shelter in place rules is singling out specific demographic groups in its restrictions of public gatherings. Earlier this week, Sonoma County health authorities announced it would limit indoor public gatherings to 50 people. However, should one of those people be overweight, the maximum number drops to 12. “Please read the Sonoma County shelter in place order… You can’t make this stuff up,” conceded one incredulous pro-vaccine Twitterer, @bigal_0. Sonoma County Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase (see photo, with purple scarf) issued the decree, which is in effect January 12 to...

SACRAMENTO -– A pro-life group won a preliminary victory against the state of California regarding SB 742, the law which restricts free speech outside of vaccination clinics. A federal court on Saturday granted the Alliance Defending Freedom's client, Right to Life of Central California, its request to halt enforcement of the unconstitutional law. “We’re encouraged by this preliminary victory. The courts correctly recognized SB 742 as a Trojan Horse attempting to block freedom of speech and assembly for pro-life Californians,” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller. “CFC repeatedly warned both the legislature and the governor about these unconstitutional provisions....

Buried on Page 14 in the Pfizer paperwork submitted to the FDA for the Covid vaccine for children is this disturbing nugget. Vaccine formulation Authorization is being requested for a modified formulation of the Pfizer‑BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Each dose of this formulation contains 10 μg of a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (mRNA) encoding the viral spike (S) glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 that is formulated in lipid particles and supplied as a frozen suspension in multiple dose vials. To provide a vaccine with an improved stability profile, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine for use in children 5-11 years of age uses tromethamine (Tris) buffer...

Well duh, said Zoe, can you 'splain that to me again? With pictures?How do you get rid of a problem? Here's an example, rather raw, so skip it if you have tender sensibilities. When I was in college, I was told this story by a young man who was a Philadelphia Main Liner. For those who don't know, the Main Line towns in Philly were premier homes of aristocratic U.S. bluebloods, bastions of old money, or as old as it is in the United States. This young man was so aristocratic that he actually had three last names, so family...

One deity, Tezcatlipoca, was honored with human sacrificesA group of parents is asking California’s public school system to ban teachers from asking students to recite chants to Aztec gods, including one worshiped with human sacrifices. The parents also contend that the ethnic studies program that the state adopted earlier this year violates the U.S. Constitution. In Aztec tradition, an impersonator of Tezcatlipoca would be sacrificed with his heart removed to honor the deity. The model curriculum was described this week as “blatantly unconstitutional” by the Thomas More Society, which is representing the parents in the legal action against the state...

Also shielded from parental consent or knowledge, cross-sex hormones and abortionsSACRAMENTO – 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...

Detroit ABC News outlet WXYZ-TV Channel 7 got hammered hard with reality after posting this message on Facebook: "After the vaccines were available to everyone, did you lose an unvaccinated loved one to COVID-19? If you're willing to share your family's story, please DM us your contact information. We may reach out for a story we're working on." Within days of the Sept. 10, the post blew up with more than 40,000 comments from those who knew of people injured or killed by the mRNA shots. Here's a sample: For more, check out the original Facebook thread before it goes...

Staff ReportThe state of California, which will hold a gubernatorial election recall on Tuesday, approved Dominion software to monitor statewide voting results despite many code flaws and the possibility it could be compromised by hackers, according to a government report. The documentation, conducted at the behest of then Secretary of State Alex Padilla, found 180 discrepancies in the software code which were not compliant with California Voting System Standards. Nevertheless, his staff concluded that they were “purely stylistic in nature and do not adversely affect the usability” of the source code. Yet in a survey after trying out of the...

Nine Notable Ladies in the Life of Gavin By Ted Martin Special to Press California"Women are smarter in politics, smarter in civics, they're smarter in economics. Women rule," California Gov. Gavin Newsom thundered in a recent stump speech to stave off a statewide recall that could oust him from office on September 14. Given his blanket gender statement, it might be prudent for voters to review his relationships with the opposite sex over the years to understand his thinking. As it turns out, based his conduct as it relates to moral and legal norms, it would seem little thinking has...

The Golden State Gaslight Have you seen the movie 'Gaslight' which depicts gaslighting in operation? It's very instructive. You can watch it no charge at Roku: This is during the 1944 classic's ending, on the roof: Ingrid Bergman: "This night will be a long night."Joseph Cotten: "But it will end. Starting to clear. In the morning when the sun rises, sometimes it's hard to believe there ever was a night. You'll find that too."We are currently in the long psychological night but we are beginning to see the dawn. When I saw the word gaslighting I always just considered the...

Sacramento -- The California legislature is set to return to the state Capitol from summer recess next Monday to make final decisions on more than a dozen bills harmful to California communities. The California Family Council opposes 17 bills threatening the unborn, parental rights, freedom of speech and religion, and encourage racism, drug abuse, sex trafficking, and assisted suicide. Earlier in the year, the legislature killed bills promoting religious liberty and providing sex education transparency, and pushed off until next year a bill to protect children from sex abusers. Most of the 17 bills CFC is opposing made it through...

Her heart whispered that she could and should runA Marin County vaccine skeptic has joined a crowded field running to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom in next month’s recall election. Holly Baade, a single mom, former Miss California, and yoga instructor at a shaman school in Fairfax, is running as a disenchanted Democrat. Baade supported the Newsom recall from the beginning, but didn’t see any candidate she could support among the contenders. “So I felt a little dispirited. I felt a sensation of disappointment,” Baade told the Marin Independent Journal days ago. “Then all of a sudden in that same moment,...

Following the adoption of legislation letting inmates identify their sex and choose where to be housed, risky sexual behavior has become rampant in California women’s penitentiaries, according to an inmate activist. At the California Institution for Women in Chino, for example, HIV positive transgender “women” are having sex with biological women, said Amber Jackson, an inmate there. “What kind of human being would intentionally cause harm by placing a number HIV-infected, anatomically male prisoners among the female prisoners?” Jackson asked. In September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), requiring California to house inmates...

Staff ReportSan Diego’s libraries are welcoming rather colorful characters this summer to read to children to celebrate the unusual sexual practices community, including drag queens who encourage liaisons with young men who look like boys. Billed as Pride-themed family-friendly story times, four such events will take place in July featuring performers that some parents and residents are not enthusiastic about. “A drag queen performs in a night club for adults. There is a lot of filth that goes on, a lot of sexual stuff that goes on, and backstage there's a lot of nudity, sex and drugs,” Dianne Chapman told...
