Shockingly bad bills passed by Democrat Party & RINO politicians

Friday, August 30, 2024, 6:02 pm | Randy Thomasson

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 UPDATE: See the final outcome of these immoral, anti-family bills at the SaveCalifornia.com Legislation Center.

Our previous post from August 30, 2024:

As the August 31 deadline of the California Legislature’s annual session looms, see and share the awful bills the ruling Democrat Party legislators have authored and are passing with the help of RINOs (Republicans in Name Only):

  • HR 101 by 6 homosexual activist Democrat Party assemblymembers has language championing the unnatural, anti-family, tyrannical “LGBTQ+” agenda and vilifying anyone who opposes it. This annual pro-perversity Assembly resolution was approved on a voice vote on June 3. Coauthors were 53 Democrats and Republicans Phillip Chen, Diane Dixon, Greg Wallis. On May 28, the Assembly Rules Committee advanced HR 101 (5 Democrats + Republican Heath Flora voted yes).
  • AB 1825 pressuring public libraries in conservative communities to stock material reflecting “inclusive and diverse perspectives,” promoting pornography, homosexuality/bisexuality/transsexuality, abortion, witchcraft, stealing, communism, and racism. Voting yes were the supermajority Democrats and 4 Assembly Republicans: Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
  • Two bills pushing more baby-killing — by imposing even harsher penalties upon peaceful pro-lifers who are offering factual information and adoption services to pregnant women who are being roped in by Planned Parenthood abortionists (AB 2099) and by pressuring communities to open up more abortion clinics (AB 2085). Along with the supermajority Democrats, already voting yes on AB 2099 were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Heath Flora, Josh Hoover, Devon Mathis, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis; joining the Democrats in approving AB 2085 were Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Greg Wallis.
  • AB 2319 replacing “mother” with “all birthing people, including nonbinary persons and persons of transgender experience,” and forcing “all health care providers involved in the perinatal care of patients” at hospitals, primary care clinics, alternative birthing centers, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments, under threat of penalty, into brainwashing training — teaching employees and contractors to believe and speak the unscientific fallacies that biological females can be biological males, and vice versa. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 2442 by homosexual activist Democrat Party State Assemblymember Rick Zbur of Hollywood would accelerate the harmful “sex change” industry in California by expediting so-called “gender-affirming health care and gender-affirming mental health care” license applications, similar to the current expediting of abortionists’ licenses. Along with the supermajority Democrats, voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 2711 by Democrat James Ramos, would eliminate smoking, alcohol drinking, and using drugs as automatic grounds for suspension at all California government-controlled schools. AB 2711 as amended July 3 would prohibit suspending children from California public school for “their use of a controlled substance, alcohol, intoxicants of any kind, or a tobacco product.” Instead of suspension, this bill would require K-12 government-controlled schools to offer a counseling program to students who “voluntarily” disclose their drug/alcohol use or who possessing drug/alcohol. This is a significant weakening of current penalties for bad behavior. AB 2711 sends the message to other students that getting stoned or drunk isn’t that bad, since the consequences will be mild, not severe. Joining the Democrats by voting yes were Republicans Marie Waldron, Roger Niello, Scott Wilk.
  • AB 3031 by homosexual activist Evan Low and “bisexual” activist Alex Lee, both Democrat assemblymembers from the Greater San Jose area, would create an official “LGBTQ+ Commission” to hammer its tyrannical agenda upon you all the more. The June 26 amendments made AB 3031 even worse by thoroughly embedding this “LGBT+ Commission” agenda in the state government bureaucracy, and fundraising for it, and in the future, funding it directly with taxpayer dollars. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Marie Waldron, and Greg Wallis.
  • SB 954 by 3 Democrat Party state senators would promote the lie that condoms are effective pregnancy prevention and ignore STDs and other harms resulting from teen fornication. This bad bill further sexualizing children would require California public schools “to make internal and external condoms available to all pupils” from 7th grade onward. It would additionally require at schools from 9th grade onward to “make condoms available by placing condoms in a minimum of two locations on school grounds where the condoms are easily accessible to pupils during school hours without requiring assistance or permission from school staff.” There is no provision for parental notification or consent. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Heath Flora and Marie Waldron, both of whom supported SB 954 in committee.
  • SB 957 by “LGBTQIA+” Democrat Party State Senator Scott Wiener of San Francisco would require health providers to collect information about homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality via forms and questionnaires, then report this personal information to county health departments as well as to the State. Joining the ruling Democrats in voting yes were Republicans Juan Alanis, Laurie Davies, Diane Dixon, Kate Sanchez, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis.
  • SB 1174 by Democrat Party State Senator Dave Min of Orange County would prohibit cities from requiring registered voters to present identification before voting. Of course, prohibiting proof that you are who you say you are promotes both voter fraud by individuals and election fraud by corrupt “vote counters.” Yet without voter identification — especially photo ID — we shatter the “one person, one vote” American standard. Since our Democrat-controlled state government has statewide laws that do not require voter ID, it’s up to local governments that care about accuracy and honesty to require voter ID locally. But they can’t under SB 1174, legislation that is both anti-democracy and anti-America. Only Democrats voted yes on this bad bill.
  • Two bills devaluing citizens and rewarding illegal aliens — permitting illegals to receive 20% in taxpayer-funded home loan down payment assistance up to $150,000 (AB 1840) and prohibiting UC, CSU, and community colleges from “discriminating” against illegal-alien student job applicants (AB 2586). Only Democrats voted yes on AB 1840; three Republicans — Juan Alanis, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis — voted for AB 2586.
  • Four racist reparations bills: AB 3089 making the State issue a “formal apology” for past “racism” (Republicans joining the Democrats in voting yes were Juan Alanis, Phillip Chen, Josh Hoover, Tom Lackey, Marie Waldron, Greg Wallis, Scott Wilk); SB 1403 creating a “California American Freedmen Affairs Agency” within state government to “oversee all reparations activities”; SB 1050 to compensate “Black Californians who are descendants of enslaved people who lost homes or had their land taken without fair compensation as a result of racially motivated misuse of eminent domain”; SB 1331 creating an empty account in the state treasury to fund future reparations payments.

Dems & RINOs want to kill even more babies

Friday, May 24, 2024, 9:45 am | Randy Thomasson

On Wednesday, another pro-abortion showcase for presidential wannabe Gavin Newsom. Voting yes on SB 233 were nearly all Democrat Party legislators + RINOs Juan Alanis of Stanislaus County & Greg Wallis of Greater Palm Springs.

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.

Celebrate the shelving of the assisted suicide expansion bill, SB 1196

Thursday, April 18, 2024, 11:42 am | Randy Thomasson

A great moral victory! SB 1196 giving killer drugs to MENTALLY or PHYSICALLY DISABLED — or to anybody with one of any of the thousands of INCURABLE diseases who rejects treatment and wants to die — has been shelved by its author, Democrat Party State Senator Catherine Blakespear of San Diego and Orange counties.

“Politico” broke the story April 17:
“At this point, there is a reluctance from many around me to take up this discussion, and the future is unclear,” Blakespear said in a statement. “The topic, however, remains of great interest to me and to those who have supported this bill thus far.” Her bill would have expanded the state’s current End Of Life Options Act to allow patients without a specific prognosis to request life-ending drugs if they are suffering from a “grievous and irremediable medical condition.” Current law in California and all other states says patients can only request these drugs when they have six months left to live.

Washington Post, 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).

SaveCalifornia.com, 2024: Under SB 1196, if you’re 18, and have an “incurable” illness or disease of any kind (including an incurable 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.”

THANK YOU to everyone who did anything to oppose this devilish, inhuman bill!

How was this very dangerous “expansion” of “assisted suicide” defeated? The main reason is the pro-assisted suicide organization, “Compassion & Choices,” opposed getting rid of their (the State of California’s since 2016) “terminal” prognosis of having “less than six months to live” standard — and they let the Democrat committee members know it.

However, unlike this pro-euthanasia group, SaveCalifornia.com rallied phone calls in opposition to SB 1196 because we know:

  • Euthanasia, “the administration of a lethal agent…to a patient,” is murder
  • It is inhuman to “permit” elderly or disabled people to dehydrate to death
  • The Word of God consistently commands the protection of innocent human life
  • Choice is an illusion in assisted suicide and euthanasia bills and laws

For these reasons and more, SaveCalifornia.com urges all people of moral conscience to steadfastly protect innocent human life from conception to natural death.

Because God created human beings in his image, every human life from conception to death bears the image of God and has inestimable worth (Genesis 1:27). Therefore, Christians must be committed to a consistent ethic of life that safeguards the essential nature of human life at all stages, with a special concern to protect the lives of the most vulnerable. The unborn, the very young, the aged, those living in poverty, the chronically or terminally ill, those with disabilities and those with genetic diseases deserve our particular care and protection. Our public policy agenda should reflect these broad commitments.
