Legislation Watch

AB 602

This bill imposes a potential $10,000 civil penalty for any clinic that engages in "deceptive advertising" regarding its provision or non-provision of abortion services. This is targeted at pro-life pregnancy clinics and centers, whom pro-abortion advocates accuse of lying about abortion in order to get patients. We fear the standards of what constitutes "deceptive" advertising are very vague, and could be used to unfairly target pro-life clinics. This is an updated version of a prior bill (AB 315, now defunct) that would impose only a $1,000 fine for deceptive advertising. However, the older version of the bill also allowed individuals to sue for such "violations," whereas the current bill only allows district attorneys, city attorneys, or public officials to enforce this proposed law.

AB 576

This bill would require Medical-Cal to reimburse providers for administering pill abortions even beyond 10 weeks of pregnancy. Dangerous and spends more taxpayer money on more dangerous abortions.

AB 598

This bill requires sex ed curricula in California public schools to provide children with education about abortion, including children's legal rights to obtain abortion (in California, children can have abortions without parental notification or consent), and "local resources" for children to obtain abortion, which would likely include information about local abortion clinics.

AB 1432

This bill would require group health insurance policies in California to cover abortions and other conscience-violating practices.

SB 36

This bill would prohibit CA from cooperating with another state in arresting or detaining someone who committed an illegal abortion in a pro-life state.

SB 345

This bill would eliminate all mention of "unborn children" from California law and would replace it with the term "fetuses".

SB 385

This bill would allow physician's assistants to perform abortions. Currently, only doctors and nurse practitioners may perform them. This lowers the qualifications standard for persons performing abortions.
