CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER SOME SHOCKING BILLS
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER SOME SHOCKING BILLS
California’s 39 million residents are getting ready for their economy to re-open. Gov. Gavin Newsom says schools could open as early as July. He’s also looking to open businesses that are able to practice social distancing earlier than that.
Next week, California lawmakers go back to the state capitol to pass a budget before their June deadline. However, it’s not all positive news.
Greg Burt, director of capitol engagement for California Family Council, has compiled some bills on his “worst of the worst” list that he’s concerned about the state passing.
Parents Kept in the Dark on Abortion and Trans Treatments
One of the measures would allow insurance companies to hide from parents certain medical procedures given to their children. These procedures could include abortions and transgender treatments. . .
“This Planned Parenthood sponsored bill requires health insurance companies to hide from parents ‘sensitive’ medical procedures given to their adult and minor children. These ‘sensitive’ services include abortions; sexually transmitted infections treatment; drug abuse and mental health treatment; sexual assault treatment; and for adult children, cross-sex hormones, and sex-change operations,” Burt said.
“If passed, parents will find themselves obligated to pay for medical bills for their dependents, but they will not know what they are paying for,” he noted.
No More Genders in Kid’s Stores
Another bill known as AB 2826 would force stores with 500 or more employees to not display children’s clothing or toys according to gender.
According to this bill, it would be illegal to display children’s clothing or toy items by gender in stores with more than 500 employees. Burt says separating these items by sex incorrectly implies that their use by one gender is inappropriate. A retail department store violating this law is liable for a $1,000 civil penalty.
Sponsoring Sex-Changes
A third bill known as AB 2218 would set up a wellness fund amounting to $15 million for LGBT and transgender individuals to have sex-change operations and cross-sex hormone treatments.
“This bill establishes the $15 million Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund to provide grants to nonprofits, hospitals, health care clinics, and other medical providers that provide puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for minors, as well as cross-sex hormones and ‘sex-change’ operations for adults,” Burt noted. “All these drugs and procedures sterilize the recipient and permanently damage healthy body parts.”
No More Co-Pays for Abortion
Another measure titled AB 1973 would eliminate co-pays and deductibles for abortion for those with public or private health insurance.
“This Planned Parenthood sponsored bill would prohibit Medi-Cal, a health care service plan, or an individual or group policy of disability insurance from imposing a deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing requirement on coverage for abortions,” Burt writes.
Secret Abortions for Foster Youth
And the last, but not least, “worst of the worst” bills known as AB 2035 would require social workers to inform foster youth 10 years or older of rights to secret abortions and birth control.
“This bill mandates foster children, starting in fifth grade, are told of their rights to receive free birth control and abortions without the approval or knowledge of their foster parents,” Burt explained. “It specifically would require county social workers to verify to the court that they have informed foster care children over 10 years of age of these rights and where to get these services.” . . .

Jesus, you know as I read this it broke my heart. Father God, we need the believers of the country to be informed, please wake the body of Christ up in this nation. Please Precious Lord, the ONLY way to fight these battles is on our knees and on our face before You
May the Fear of GOD come upon them and cause them to repent of this wickedness.
There is a limit to GOD’s patience!
Father, we praise your name for answered prayer, for your power against the enemy. Rouse your church in California to intercede for their state and their nation. Take the blinders off the people and as they pray. as they vote, may the voting be honest and false balloting would be stopped.
Father, I pray against the forces of evil, the deception and perversion, that has blinded so many to believe these lies contained in this legislation. I pray for a roadblock to be placed in the path of these bills to stop them from being implemented. I pray for for the church in California to wake up to see what the enemy is doing to our state. Bring a righteous anger to all believers for the purpose of uniting us as one force against the enemies of God. Bring teaching to the church to equip us with a defense to protect us and an offense to affectively pull down the strongholds that hold our state in bondage. Lord remove power from the ungodly and empower those that believe in your principles.
These bills that are wanting to be passed our pure evil. I pray Lord Jesus that you would move by your spirit and stop these bills from being passed. We come to you and ask you to forgive our Nation of going against your ways. Lord please heal and restore the minds of men and women that need to be healed and restored into their identity that is only found in you. Only you Lord can do this miracle.
Thank You Lord, we put our trust in you.
