The Democrat politicians’ death wish for the weak and vulnerable

Thursday, August 16, 2018, 4:45 pm | Randy Thomasson

Wait, aren’t Democrats supposed to protect the weak and the vulnerable? No, the new Democrat agenda is to kill them off — at the beginning of life (abortion) and now to the elderly too (euthanasia).

On August 6, AB 282 expanding both “assisted suicide” (so-called voluntary death) and euthanasia (involuntary death) passed the California State Senate. Sold as a “correction” to the 2015 “assisted suicide” law, AB 282, by focusing on the existing Penal Code making it a felony to assist someone to commit suicide, illogically exempts from all prosecution the act of helping a “terminally ill” person commit suicide.

But this should not assure anyone, not even the so-called “terminally ill” who have lots of life and natural medicine opportunities left,  Because under AB 282, with nothing to assure a person’s “choice” to die, selfish family members can order up the pills, even force you to “drink” them, avoid all prosecution, and still inherit money if they’re in your will. It’s the “perfect crime.”

I invite you to read my August 16 interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN News). In it, I explain why AB 282, as well as the first “assisted suicide” law from 2015, is so wrong and harmful, and why it’s a severe threat to the weak and vulnerable.

In the 40-member State Senate, all 25 Democrats voted yes, while 9 Republicans voted no and 5 others did not vote: Noes: Bates, Chang, Gaines, Moorlach, Morrell, Nguyen, Stone, Vidak, Wilk; No Votes Recorded: Anderson, Berryhill, Cannella, Fuller, Nielsen. AB 282 now returns to the Assembly for a “concurrence vote” by August 31.

In 2015, Democrat politicians in Sacramento first legalized “assisted suicide.” There’s no requirement for a witness at death, and no requirement to self-administer. What’s more, it permits forgery of a final attestation form and a false cause of death on a death certificate.

What’s going on today:

Now, the Democrat politicians are pushing AB 282 (authored by Jones-Sawyer). This new bill would:

» Exempt from criminal prosecution “aiding, advising, or encouraging” physician-assisted suicide. In other words, a bad doctor or nurse can pressure you to die.

» Allow someone who could financially benefit from your death to actually sign an order giving you suicide pills. This allows murder for profit.

Think about what a terrible message this sends to teenagers and young adults. While the law focuses on the so-called “terminally ill,” it also sends an an unmistakable signal that if you’re depressed, suicide is the “answer.”

The vital issue of “assisted suicide” is still in California courts. The 2015 bill was rightly ruled unconstitutional; however, that ruling is “stayed” (so it’s not in effect right now) while the case is being appealed by California’s pro-suicide Attorney General, Xavier Becerra.

Ruling on pro-life centers could also stop AB 2943

Thursday, June 28, 2018, 6:27 pm | Randy Thomasson

If you’re sick and tired of the Democrat rulers of California trying to ban or punish any moral values they disagree with, here’s some real hope for you.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s big decision recognizing the First Amendment right of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to NOT be forced to promote values that they oppose (e.g., killing preborn babies via abortion) has set a key precedent for the protected speech of other organizations and business owners with moral values.

As the pro-family legal organization Liberty Counsel notes (quoting from the June 26 opinion in National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra):

This case will also have an impact on laws that seek to ban counsel for unwanted same-sex attractions, behavior, or identity (SOCE). The opinion explicitly adopts the arguments Liberty Counsel has made all along in SOCE cases, which is that “professional speech” cannot be exempted as some “new category of speech.”

The opinion states: “The dangers associated with content-based regulations of speech are also present in the context of professional speech. As with other kinds of speech, regulating the content of professionals’ speech pose[s] the inherent risk that the Government seeks not to advance a legitimate regulatory goal, but to suppress unpopular ideas or information… Take medicine, for example. ‘Doctors help patients make deeply personal decisions, and their candor is crucial.’ Throughout history, governments have ‘manipulat[ed] the content of doctor-patient discourse’ to increase state power and suppress minorities.'”Justice Thomas notes that professional disagreements about the efficacy of professional services cannot be used to suppress speech.

Therefore, have hope! As you know, AB 2943 banning the free speech of counselors, ministries, churches that help people overcome unwanted homosexual or transsexual desires is advancing through the Democrat-controlled California State Legislature. These Democrat politicians don’t care about your basic liberties — they just do the bidding of their tyrannical special-interest supporters (“LGBT’ groups, Planned Parenthood abortionists, etc.)

So even though it’s probable that the Democrat rulers of California will pass AB 2943, it’s also highly probable that the right lawsuit or lawsuits could use National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra to win a future U.S. Supreme Court victory that broadly protects moral speech in America. A success here would not only strike down AB 2943, thus protecting counselors who help adults overcome homosexuality or transsexuality, but would also affirm the right of counselors to help minors who struggle with homosexuality or transsexuality (which Governor Jerry Brown and the Democrats banned in 2012).

This is why I’m asking you to use the White House web form to send a strong message to President Donald Trump. Urge him to “Nominate a strict constructionist and originalist like Neil Gorsuch who will be loyal to the written Constitution, not loyal to their feelings or liberal revisionism like the four leftists currently on the high court. And please don’t nominate William Pryor, who has been inconsistent and even unconstitutional in his rulings.”

“..on every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was past.”

CBN News: ‘Anti-Family’ Republicans Join Democrats in California to Pass Latest Sexual Indoctrination Bill

With Republican officeholders like this, who needs Democrat politicians to vote for sexual indoctrination bills?

It’s a fact that the homosexual and transsexual  agenda is unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, and tyrannical. But that didn’t stop 5 Democrats and 2 Republicans in a California State Senate committee from turning off their brains and voting for what will probably be California’s 11th sexual indoctrination law harming boys and girls who are enrolled in the government-controlled schools.

On June 20, the California Senate Education Committee voted UNANIMOUSLY to require all California government-school teachers to be brainwashed (via in-service training) “for the support of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) pupils as well as strategies to increase support for LGBTQ pupils.”

Joining 5 anti-family Democrats in voting yes for this non-academic, sexual indoctrination bill, designed to recruit and train children to be homosexual and transsexual activists, were two “Republicans”: ANDY VIDAK of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties (https://vidak.cssrc.us/content/district) and SCOTT WILK of the Antelope, Santa Clarita, and Victor Valleys (https://wilk.cssrc.us/21st-senate-district)

See the vote on AB 2153 (https://bit.ly/2ywhNtc). State senators voting YES in committee were 5 Democrats — Ben Allen, Cathleen Galgiani, Connie Leyva, Mike McGuire, Richard Pan — along with the two Republicans, Andy Vidak and Scott Wilk

AB 2153 is authored by Democrat Tony Thurmond, who’s running for California Superintendent of Public Instruction

Do these elected representatives deserve your support? Only you can decide. So far, 5 Republican state legislators in California have joined the anti-family Democrats in voting FOR AB 2153: Andy Vidak of Visalia, Scott Wilk of Santa Clarita, (and in the California State Assembly) Catharine Baker of Contra Costa County, Tom Lackey of Palmdale, and Brian Maienschein of north San Diego.
