SPECIAL REPORT: Why medical tyranny and infanticide bills passed

Friday, May 27, 2022, 12:05 pm | Randy Thomasson

If you haven’t heard yet, on May 26, the Democrats that rule the California State Assembly powered through Covid medical tyranny bills AB 2098 and AB 1797 and the infanticide legalization bill AB 2223.

AB 2098 revokes licenses of doctors that counsel patients against the “Covid vaccine”

AB 1797 puts Californians into a database, segregating them by “Covid vaccine” status

AB 2223 prohibits law enforcement from investigating infant deaths

That was the worst thing of all. But the second worst was zero Republicans spoke against any of these bad bills. All 19 of them refused to speak to expose these bills’ great harms.

And I have to tell you, based on other times this week that Assembly Republicans vigorously spoke out (such as on protecting Central Valley water), I believe these medical tyranny bills and infanticide bill could have been defeated if exposed in a verbal floor fight.

See the deceitful passage of AB 2223 where nobody spoke to expose its true effect

If you were in this fight, you have my sincere thanks and admiration for calling Sacramento in an effort to stop these horrific bills. We had to try, because last year a vaccine passport bill and a forced jab bill were pulled for lack of support. And this year, several Covid tyranny bills have already been dropped by their authors.

The votes
Despite no Assembly floor fight exposing how bad these 3 bills are, the initial votes were still close. With our goal of denying these bills a majority vote (41 yes votes), we successfully pulled off more than a dozen Democrats; so AB 2098 was declared “passed” by just 5 votes, AB 1797 by only 2 votes, and AB 2223 by 4 votes). However, by the end of the session, votes had changed, both sides coalesced, and vote disparities increased.

See the final votes (members are allowed to change their votes by the end of the session as long as they don’t change whether the bill passed or not): AB 2098 | AB 1797 | AB 2223

The future
At this point, the only way I see to defeat these 3 awful bills is IF they’re amended in the State Senate, are sent back to the Assembly floor for concurrence votes — but this time, Republicans lovingly raise their microphones to shockingly expose and defeat these bills.

However, if AB 2098, AB 1797, and AB 2223 pass the entire California Legislature in August, and are signed by Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom, what then? I strongly believe there should be constitutional lawsuits filed against them all. Here’s why:

AB 2098 squashing medical independence on the “Covid vaccine” is an unconstitutional regulation of speech. By targeting doctors for Covid-related “misinformation or disinformation,” AB 2098 unconstitutionally targets professional speech. As the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals noted in Pickup v. Brown (2013), “…doctor-patient communications about medical treatment receive substantial First Amendment protection.” 

The appellate court also stated, “where a professional is engaged in a public dialogue, First Amendment protection is at its greatest. Thus, for example, a doctor who publicly advocates a treatment that the medical establishment considers outside the mainstream, or even dangerous, is entitled to robust protection under the First Amendment—just as any person is.” 

The author of AB 2098 knows his bill might be unconstitutional: On April 20, he amended AB 2098 to make its provisions “severable … if any provision of this act or its application is held invalid.”

AB 1797 segregating Californians by vaccine status, race and ethnicity, violates Californians’ privacy rights by eliminating confidentiality. 
By requiring, as the Legislative Counsel’s Digest of AB 1797 describes, “health care providers and other agencies, including schools, childcare facilities, family childcare homes, and county human services agencies to disclose the specified immunization information,” this bill violates the constitutional privacy rights of many Californians.

In 1972, California voters overwhelmingly added “privacy” to the list of “inalienable rights” guaranteed by Article 1, Section 1 of the California Constitution. In 1975, the California Supreme Court, in White v. Davis, relied on California’s newly-affirmed constitutional right of privacy to prevent police officers from posing as college students and gathering intelligence on what is said in the classroom when the intelligence gathered bore no relation to any suspected illegal activity.

As the court wrote: Moreover, the surveillance alleged in the complaint also constitutes a prima facie violation of the explicit “right of privacy” recently added to our state Constitution. As we point out, a principal aim of the constitutional provision is to limit the infringement upon personal privacy arising from the government’s increasing collection and retention of data relating to all facets of an individual’s life. 

By violating Californians’ medical privacy – in the classroom and otherwise – AB 1797 is in direct conflict with the California Constitution.

AB 2223 robs already-born babies of their constitutional guarantee of equal protection of the laws. 
Since this isn’t about abortion, but infanticide — which is murder — we can foresee a federal constitutional lawsuit demanding the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee that “nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” If should be tried, if there’s indeed a pro-life majority at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Thank you again for fighting these awful bills through your phone calls or by donating to SaveCalifornia.com. We had to try, and I’m grateful you did your part. But most Assembly Democrats shirked their constitutional pledges and all the Republicans went mute.

Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Proverbs 31:8

If you faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small.
Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
Proverbs 24:10-11

Both Newsoms: Let convicted murderers live; kill innocent pre-born babies

Thursday, March 24, 2022, 8:50 am | Randy Thomasson

Uber-liberal Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom was such in a rush to sign more innocent babies’ death warrants, his hair got out of place.

With his “First Partner” by his side, Newsom on Tuesday, March 22 signed SB 245 to force health insurers to 100% pay to kill pre-born babies via abortion (no more co-pays).

Said Newsom: “As states across the country attempt to move us backwards by restricting fundamental reproductive rights, California continues to protect and advance reproductive freedom for all. With this legislation, we’ll help ensure equitable, affordable access to abortion services so that out-of-pocket costs don’t stand in the way of receiving care.”

So if you’re “unwanted” or an “accident” (unplanned conception by your father and mother), Newsom and “Partner” (and all the Democrat legislators who voted for it) want you to be torturously murdered. How unjust! Mr. and Mrs. Newsom (if the “First Partner” consents to this traditional title) support and make you subsidize ongoing life for convicted murderers (no capital punishment during Newsom’s reign), and at the same time the Newsoms support and force health insurers and ratepayers (you) to subsidize the inhuman torture and murder of innocent pre-born babies. They’re evilly calling wrong “right” and right “wrong.”

A two-year bill, SB 245 passed the Democrat-controlled State Senate last year, but was “held” by the State Assembly before the recall election. This year, it was rushed through the Democrat-controlled State Assembly, with an Assembly floor vote March 17, then a Senate concurrence vote March 21.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are pregnancy support groups in California and across the nation who are there to help women through unexpected pregnancies, whether they choose to keep their baby or place him or her for adoption. Please help mothers in crisis pregnancies to find pro-life help, not pro-death harm.

For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
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.

Psalm 139:13-16

Why are California gas prices sky-high?

Wednesday, March 9, 2022, 4:42 pm | Randy Thomasson

A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Here are the March 9, 2022 “heat maps” from GasBuddy.com. They show Democrat-run California has the highest gas prices in our nation, even higher than Hawaii, which imports all its oil. California today has $5 gas in most parts of the state.

Since January 2021, gasoline prices in all 50 U.S. states have doubled under Biden & Co. The price of a barrel of oil on January 1, 2021 was $52.20, and this morning (March 9, 2022) it was $122.84.

The Democrat Party’s war against oil lowers the supply of oil, which increases the price. It’s the Democrat agenda, nationally and internationally, that’s doubled what you pay at the pump. Remember, on his first day of occupying the White House, Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline to satisfy environmental wacko groups.

As for California, the Democrat Party’s multi-decade control of the California State Legislature has prevented gasoline pipelines from other states, prohibited new oil drilling, required expensive gasoline blends, and imposed the nation’s highest gas tax. So Newsom & Co. are hurting you right along with Biden & Co.

And think about this — the Democrat politicians have worked so hard to keep a stable, cheap supply of gasoline out of California, today Hawaii, which imports all their oil, is cheaper than California!

Constitutional Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher of Yuba City says California imposes “taxes and mandates that add $1.27/gallon to the cost of gas.”

Now, if these high gasoline taxes and burdensome regulations were done away with, and new drilling and at least one interstate pipeline were permitted, California could have the lowest-cost gasoline in the nation. But to achieve this, you’re going to have to change a lot of faces in Sacramento.

See my past blogs dealing with gas supply and gas prices

“Gas prices are going up at a far more rapid rate than anybody’s seen in a long time. We had gas prices very low, and yet we had more energy jobs than we’ve ever had,” said Trump, speaking at a time when the average price of gas was $2.879 per gallon. “[T]hey will be going up by $1, $2, $3, if you look at that, and it’s bigger than a tax increase to the consumer,” he said.
