Best strategy to defeat infanticide bill, AB 2223

Tuesday, April 19, 2022, 8:53 pm | Randy Thomasson


The bad news is AB 2223 to legalize ‘perinatal death’ (infant death up to a month after birth) — in other words, legalizing infanticide — has passed two Democrat-controlled committees in the Assembly.

Due to all the opposition calls and opposition witnesses, it was hard to pass AB 2223 in the Assembly Health Committee April 19. Several Democrats had left the hearing, and probably the Capitol building, before 6pm. But AB 2223 sponsor Planned Parenthood and bill author Buffy Wicks of Oakland corralled them back — so all the Democrat committee members returned to vote yes for this infanticide bill. See our updated analysis

Yet the good news is AB 2223 might be defeated on the Assembly floor. Because Planned Parenthood abortionists aren’t on the floor, and the floor is where even Democrat members have traditionally been allowed to vote their conscience.

Who to call? SaveCalifornia.com has done the research for you. Below are the names and telephone numbers of 28 Assembly targets. These are Democrat assemblymembers who are either termed-out, new and untested, running in a new district, running in a formerly Republican district, or who have a history of sometimes abstaining on the most radical Democrat bills.

Here’s the math: If none of the Assembly’s 19 Republicans and 1 independent (former Republican Chad Mayes) vote for AB 2223, and if 17 of the current 59 Democrats abstain or vote no, this horrific bill will be defeated.

Instructions for calling

Unless you see your own assemblymember on this list below, please call only during non-business hours (8pm to 8am and weekends) and remain anonymous. The reason is so your calls will have impact and not be “trashed” (the Democrat legislators’ M.O. is to disregard every message not from their own constituents). By leaving anonymous voicemails only, the offices cannot reliably “trash” your calls, and you’ll “mix” in and be part of the flood of opposition calls.

Leave a strong voicemail message against AB 2223. Use your own words or our suggested message, such as: “Oppose AB 2223. This bill permits ‘perinatal deaths,’ which means permitting killing newborns up to a month after birth. Oppose AB 2223, which opens the door to infanticide.”

Source: The MedicineNet website definition of perinatal period is “starts at the 20th to 28th week of gestation and ends 1 to 4 weeks after birth.”

If you’re calling your own assemblymember, you should call during business hours, and identify yourself as living in his or her legislative district.

Who was and is Jesus Christ?

Sunday, April 10, 2022, 12:12 pm | Randy Thomasson

He was born the God-man: All God and all man. He lived a sinless life. He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice for the sin of all who confess, repent, and trust in Him alone. And He self-resurrected from the grave to prove He is Who He said He is and that He did what He said He would do. See evidence of His physical resurrection

When you focus on His uniqueness and His provision for our souls, the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and God in the flesh, is overwhelming. To grasp Jesus’ importance, this Resurrection Week please watch and share these informative, inspiring videos:

On what day was Jesus crucified? Did Jesus Die on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? 

He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Democrat politicians for infanticide

Tuesday, April 5, 2022, 3:24 pm | Randy Thomasson

Thank you to everyone who called to oppose AB 2223, the devilish Democrat bill that would legalize the killing of newborn babies with no law enforcement investigation allowed. You are on the side of truth and life and justice, while the Democrat politicians voting today to advance this infanticide bill are your polar opposites.

Despite the Democrat-controlled Assembly Judiciary Committee approving AB 2223 on April 5, at the hearing, this baby-killing bill was exposed by an expert opposition witness, attorney Susan Arnall of the California-based Right to Life League.

While more than a hundred individuals opposed AB 2223 in committee — in person or by phone — no individuals spoke in support of the bill — only pro-abortion groups, such as the misnamed Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, American Civil Liberties Union, Lawyers for Reproductive Justice, and National Advocates for Pregnant Women.

See the vote: All six of the committee’s ruling Democrats robotically voted for AB 2223. And while the minority Republicans did not support it, they were lackluster, with none speaking against this infanticide bill to expose it.

Democrats
Eloise Reyes of San Bernardino
Robert Rivas of Salinas
Brian Maienschein of San Diego
Mark Stone of Santa Cruz
Chris Holden of Pasadena
Ash Kalra of San Jose

Republicans
Jordan Cunningham of San Luis Obispo (wasn’t there — did not vote)
Laurie Davies of San Juan Capistrano
Devon Mathis of Visalia (replaced Kevin Kiley of Rocklin on the committee)

Thank you to everyone who called and showed up and gave this murderous bill a well-deserved black eye. Our best chance to defeat AB 2223 is on the Assembly floor, where even Democrat members are much more likely to “vote their conscience.” Next step is the Assembly Health Committee.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5
