Truckers Convoy in Sacramento to Stop AB 2223 -

AENN

The People’s Convoy came to Sacramento on a day that the Legislators set aside for the people take action with their legislature and stop AB 2223 would decriminalize infanticide — the killing of newborn infants.

In the end the California Assembly in Committee last night pulled a fast slight of hand on all the truckers and citizens who were deceived by the committee hearing the bill. The Bill passed 15 to 3 and is now going to the Appropriations Committee before it goes to the Assembly floor.

The Bill passed 15 to 3 and is now going to the Appropriations Committee before it goes to the Assembly floor.

California lawmakers have sought to turn the Golden State into a refuge for abortion rights, as states like Texas, Florida and Mississippi pass laws that heavily restrict when a person can get an abortion. “We’ll be a sanctuary,” Gov. Gavin Newsom told the Associated Press in an interview in December. “We are looking at ways to support that inevitability and looking at ways to expand our protections.” One such bill, Assembly Bill 2223, authored by Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, aims to shield women and other birthing people from criminal and civil liability in the event of a miscarriage, self-induced or criminal abortion or infant death due to pregnancy-related causes.

Claim: The California Family Council and other anti-abortion groups contend that AB 2223 would decriminalize infanticide — the killing of newborn infants. “We are thrilled to see Californians all over the state traveling hundreds of miles to tell legislators decriminalizing infanticide is barbaric and indefensible,” said California Family Council President Jonathan Keller in a statement. “A political culture that justifies killing millions of children in the womb is now declaring open season on unwanted newborns. Every Californian must oppose this heinous bill.” Rating: False Details: Neither the language of the bill, nor the lawmaker’s stated intent, supports the allegation that AB 2223 would decriminalize infanticide. The proposed statute specifies that no one shall be subject to a civil or criminal penalty based on their actions with respect to their pregnancy or pregnancy outcome, “including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death due to a pregnancy-related cause.”

AGENDA 21 RADIO CHAT

Enjoy your eternal damnation California legislators.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2223, as amended, Wicks. Reproductive health.(1) Existing law requires a county coroner to hold inquests to inquire into and determine the circumstances, manner, and cause of violent, sudden, or unusual deaths, including deaths related to or following known or suspected self-induced or criminal abortion. Existing law requires a coroner to register a fetal death after 20 weeks of gestation, unless it is the result of a legal abortion. If a physician was not in attendance at the delivery of the fetus, existing law requires the fetal death to be handled as a death without medical attendance. Existing law requires the coroner to state on the certificate of fetal death the time of fetal death, the direct causes of the fetal death, and the conditions, if any, that gave rise to these causes.This bill would delete the requirement that a coroner hold inquests for deaths related to or following known or suspected self-induced or criminal abortion, and would delete the requirement that an unattended fetal death be handled as a death without medical attendance. The bill would prohibit using the coroner’s statements on the certificate of fetal death to establish, bring, or support a criminal prosecution or civil cause of damages against any person.(2) Existing law, the Reproductive Privacy Act, provides that every individual possesses a fundamental right of privacy with respect to their personal reproductive decisions. Existing law prohibits the state from interfering with a pregnant person’s right to choose or obtain an abortion before the fetus is viable or when it is necessary to protect the life and health of the pregnant person. Under existing law, an abortion is unauthorized if either the person performing the abortion is not a health care provider that is authorized to perform an abortion or the fetus is viable.Existing law, the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act, authorizes an individual whose exercise or enjoyment of rights secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or of rights secured by the Constitution or laws of this state, has been interfered with, or attempted to be interfered with, to institute or prosecute in their own name and on their own behalf an action for damages, as prescribed.This bill would prohibit a person from being subject to civil or criminal liability, or otherwise deprived of their rights, based on their actions or omissions with respect to their pregnancy or actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcome or based solely on their actions to aid or assist a pregnant person who is exercising their reproductive rights. The bill would clarify that an abortion is unauthorized if performed by a person other than the pregnant person and either the person performing the abortion is not a health care provider that is authorized to perform an abortion or the fetus is viable. The bill would authorize a party aggrieved by a violation of the Reproductive Privacy Act to bring a civil action against an offending state actor, as specified, and would require a court, upon a motion, to award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to a prevailing plaintiff. The bill would also authorize a person aggrieved by a violation of the Reproductive Privacy Act to bring a civil action pursuant to the Tom Bane Civil Rights Act. The bill would provide for the indemnification of employees or former employees of public agencies who were acting within the scope of their employment.
