As the Democrat-run Legislative Counsel’s office describes it, SB 233 “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.”
In other words, super-fast approval upon application for Arizona baby-killers to come to California to kill babies.
These pro-abortion politicians know they’re killing babies, because they deceptively substitute “more acceptable” words, such as “choice” and “women’s rights” and “reproductive care.”
This murderous bill is in addition to Newsom in 2022 budgeting “more than $200 million in state funding to create abortion.ca.gov, cover uninsured care, support providers, bolster security and more.”
For the record, the California Democrat Party platform is pro-abortion without any restrictions (supporting “an individual’s right to abortion”).
In contrast, the California Republican Party platform, despite aggressive attacks by RINOs, still “protects innocent life because we believe life begins at conception and ends at natural death.”
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. The Bible, Psalm 139:14-16
With evil forces hard at work, you hear a lot of bad news. But here 3 victories, right here in California!
The City of Downey, in southeast L.A. County, encircled by the 5, 710, and 105 freeways, has joined Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, and the County of Orange in banning any flag on government property except the U.S., state, city (or county) and POW/MIA flags.
This is the fruit of the labors of those who helped elect pro-family city councilmembers. It took 3 of 5 votes to win on May 14, but fortunately, there was a conservative majority!
The mayor, Mario Trujillo (sitting in the center of the council’s semi-circle), is himself an “LGBTQIA+” activist, who was seething with anger because he wants to promote the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda.
Kudos to the Downey chapter of Mass Resistance, which has worked for a couple years now for a conservative-majority council to approve this patriotic, pro-family flag policy. If you have and know a conservative city councilmember, ask him or her to introduce the same flag policy as Downey and Huntington Beach have bravely and lovingly done.
1. Religious freedom and free speech in the First Amendment, plus California’s “employee protection” laws, can be potent allies of moral-values teachers in the government schools. Suing in federal court is the right venue and also a legal strategy to protect more teachers.
2. Other religious teachers opposed to the “LGBTQIA+” agenda in schools can also sue, with the help of able, First Amendment attorneys. If you’re a religious teacher in California “public schools” who doesn’t want to lie about what sex a biological boy or biological girl is, contact the same attorneys who represented and won for Jessica Tapia: Advocates for Faith & Freedom at 951-304-7583 or see their new page, Teachers Don’t Lie.
3. A federal lawsuit going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court is needed. The current high court seems to have either 5 or 6 judges that support religious accommodation, based on our written Constitution and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Which teacher and legal organization will love others nationwide to pursue this? The Becket Fund for Religious Freedom is representing religious parents of children in K-12 government schools. And while losing in federal appeals court May 15, they’ve won the right of appeal to SCOTUS.
The Lakeside Union School District Parents’ Bill of Rights includes: * Public listing and disclosure of all curricula * Parent advisory committees to review and make recommendations regarding parental notification, student privacy matters, and selection and implementation of curriculum and supplemental instructional materials * Detailing of age-appropriateness of library books, ensuring parents’ ability to restrict their child’s access to objectionable books * Parents’ ability to “opt-out” of what they deem to be inappropriate topics including sex education * Notification of official or unofficial district actions related to bullying, suicidal intent, sexual transitioning, and academic achievement * Parental notification of state-mandated or district-initiated modifications to restroom and locker room facilities that impact children’s privacy * Parental written approval for administering all medications or medical treatments from cold medicines to insulin
Every pro-family school board in California should pass a similar resolution. So if a school board in your community has a professing pro-family majority, please lobby your local school board members to pass the same Parents’ Bill of Rights as Lakeside has.
However, loving parents and grandparents should realize that, despite this pro-family resolution, impressionable boys and girls enrolled in the government-controlled K-12 system in Lakeside and throughout California will still be barraged with:
* A raft of statewide school sexual indoctrination laws * Racist indoctrination under the guise of “ethnic studies” * Anti-people indoctrination under “climate education” * Other curricula that are pro-abortion, pro-fornication, and anti-America * A myriad of policies and practices disparaging parents, family, real history, and Christianity
SaveCalifornia.com urges loving dads and moms to permanently rescue your children from government indoctrination centers and take back your parental rights for good.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. The Bible, Titus 2:11-14
These include diseases, infections, or illnesses that older teenagers and young adults can have, including obesity, asthma, herpes simplex, irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain, and psoriasis, and congenital anomalies, such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, scoliosis, type 1 diabetes, and hearing loss.
What’s more, there are several thousand “incurable” diseases worldwide. As the liberal-establishment Washington Postreported in 2016: “We generally say: Several thousand diseases affect humans of which only about 500 have any U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment,” said Cindy McConnell, a spokeswoman at NIH’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS).
But did you know that if the Democrat Party legislators’ new “assisted suicide” bill passes, patients with any of these “incurable” maladies are permitted to obtain a lethal dose of drugs for committing “assisted suicide”?
SB 1196 would spawn a broad, new death culture, where physically or mentally disabled Californians would be offered “assistance” to die. How horrible to offer “assisted suicide” to a depressed person!
And for those who want to focus on dementia patients, can you imagine the shaky “consent” they would be coerced to give? Realize “self-administration” of a lethal dose isn’t necessarily true when, under SB 1196, a witness is not required, nor are authorities permitted to charge any “assistant” — not even legal heirs who “assist” with the ingestion of the lethal dose — with murder. How certain is “choice” when the final choice to ingest lethal drugs is legally hidden?
Under SB 1196, feelings, not fact, will be the standard. Because being depressed and thinking life is “intolerable” and not “acceptable” would permit Californians with any incurable disability or illness to be offered suicide rather than counseling. And ironically, this is happening when effective pain compliance is readily available.
SB 1196 permits the “assisted suicide” of teenagers, since at age 18, you can qualify. It says so right at the top of the bill:
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 443.1 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:
443.1. As used in this part, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “Adult” means an individual 18 years of age or older.
Therefore, under SB 1196, if you’re 18, and have an “incurable” illness or disease of any kind (including an incurable* and possibly fatal sexually-transmitted infection**) that limits your “capability” to any extent, and you say you’re “suffering,” and feel that life is “intolerable,” and claim that continued treatment is not “acceptable” to you, and declare you’re not “willing to attempt” other treatments, you get to either swallow a lethal dose of drugs or be injected with the lethal drugs with the “assistance” of “a health care provider placing an intravenous catheter…into the qualified individual’s vein.”
See the loose, subjective, overly-broad words and phrases in SB 1196, as decribed by the Democrat-controlled Legislative Counsel’s office:
This bill would replace the term “terminal disease” for purposes of the act with “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” defined as a medical condition that (1) is a serious and incurable illness or disease, (2) has placed the individual in a state of irreversible decline in capability and the individual’s suffering is palpable without prospect of improvement, (3) is causing the individual to endure physical suffering due to the illness, disease, or state of decline that is intolerable to the individual and cannot be relieved in a manner the individual deems acceptable, and there is no proven treatment for the individual’s situation that the individual has not attempted or is willing to attempt due to the nature or side effects of the treatment, and (4) after taking into account all of the individual’s medical circumstances, it is reasonably foreseeable that the condition will become the individual’s natural cause of death, as specified. The bill would, for purposes of the act, include a diagnosis of dementia as a grievous and irremediable medical condition, if the individual meets specified capacity requirements. The bill would specify that a sole diagnosis of a mental disorder is not a grievous and irremediable medical condition. The bill would also expand the definition of “mental health specialist” to include neurologists. The bill would additionally authorize the self-administration of an aid-in-dying drug through intravenous injection.
PLEASE ACT NOW
Don’t let California replace fact with feelings about whether a lethal dose of drugs can be given to depressed teenagers and adults.
There is a chance to defeat SB 1196, since the leading assisted-suicide group, “Compassion & Choices” opposes it, and so do some disabled rights groups. The loose and very broad language and definitions have made SB 1196 a very poorly-written bill.
STEP 1: Please call and email your own state senator to say, “Oppose SB 1196 as amended April 4. This radical bill would permit a depressed 18-year-old with an incurable STD or other incurable disability to obtain a lethal dose of drugs. Protect depressed or disabled Californians from deadly coercion. Oppose SB 1196.”
STEP 2: Please also leave easy voicemail messages for the 11-member State Senate Health Committee before its April 22 hearing on SB 1196. Call Monday through Friday from 7pm to 8am and all weekend. Unless you live in a senator’s district, when you leave your afterhours voicemail message (the same suggested message as above), do not provide your name or location (if you do, they’ll trash your message).
