California Gov. Gavin Newsom is obsessed with abortion.
Newsom’s latest law allows Arizona doctors to perform abortions in California because the Arizona Supreme Court allowed an old to go into effect, making it a felony for anyone who “provides, supplies or administers to a pregnant woman, or procures such woman to take any medicine, drugs or substance, or uses or employs any instrument or other means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of such woman, unless it is necessary to save her life.”
The person faces 2 to 5 years in prison.
This bill, through November 30, 2024, would authorize a physician licensed to practice medicine in Arizona who meets certain requirements to practice medicine in California for the purpose of providing abortions and abortion-related care to patients who are Arizona residents traveling from Arizona, upon application for registration with the Medical Board of California or the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, as applicable. The bill would prohibit the physician from providing care or consultation for other purposes or to other patients, except under specified circumstances. The bill would require an Arizona physician, before practicing in California, to submit specified information to the Medical Board of California or the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, as applicable, including, among other information, written verification from the Arizona Medical Board or the Arizona Board of Osteopathic Examiners in Medicine and Surgery, or documentation printed from an online licensing system, that the physician’s Arizona license to practice medicine is in good standing and confers on the physician the authority to practice abortions and abortion-related care. The bill would require the applicant to provide an affidavit attesting that, among other things, the applicant meets all of the requirements for registration, as specified, and would make it a misdemeanor for a person to provide false information. The bill would limit the information the California boards are required to disclose about a registrant. The bill would deem a physician registered pursuant to the bill’s provisions a licensee of the applicable board, would authorize the applicable board to take enforcement against a person registered pursuant to the bill’s provisions, and would prohibit the applicable boards from collecting any fees for registration. By creating a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would repeal the bill’s provisions on January 1, 2025.
“Arizona Republicans tried to turn back the clock to 1864 to impose a near-total abortion ban across their state. We refuse to stand by and acquiesce to their oppressive and dangerous attacks on women.“I’m grateful for the California Legislative Women’s Caucus and all our partners for moving quickly to provide this backstop. California stands ready to protect reproductive freedom.”
I wonder what California would be like if Newsom cared about the issues affecting Californians as much as he does about the ability to murder unborn human beings.
It’s disturbing how much he concentrates on abortion. Newsom spends so much time and effort going after other states that have restricted abortion.
Last September, California issued a taxpayer-funded website detailing abortion services and resources.
The state allows anyone under 18 from the state or any other state to get an abortion.
Newsom wants the Democrats to make abortion the #1 issue. I know VP Kamala Harris has been trying to do that.
Newsom tried to be clever with an ad attacking Alabama Republicans who opposed a bill allowing women to seek abortions out of state.
Well, guess what? Newsom lied about the bill. But two female independent filmmakers claimed he plagiarized their 10-minute film, which is exactly like his ad.
What a loser.
Here are a few more instances of Newsom doing more to promote abortion than taking care of his state:
