The following comes from an October 14 Christian News article by Heather Clark:
SACRAMENTO — A federal appeals court has rejected a request for an injunction against a California law that requires pro-life pregnancy centers to provide information on government abortion programs.
“California has a substantial interest in the health of its citizens, including ensuring that its citizens have access to and adequate information about constitutionally-protected medical services like abortion,” wrote Judge Dorothy Nelson, appointed to the bench by then President Jimmy Carter, on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
“And given that many of the choices facing pregnant women are time sensitive, such as a woman’s right to have an abortion before viability, we find convincing the AG’s argument that because the licensed notice is disseminated directly to patients whenever they enter a clinic, it is an effective means of informing women about publicly-funded pregnancy services,” she said.
Violators will be fined $500 for the first offense and $1,000 for each infringement afterward.
Several pregnancy centers filed suit to challenge the law, which went into effect on Jan. 1, but none so far has been successful in obtaining relief.
In February, San Diego Judge John Houston became the fourth to deny the injunction, opining, “The state clearly has a legitimate interest in ensuring pregnant women are fully advised of their rights and treatment options when making reproductive health care decisions and the required disclosure is undeniably related to that interest.”
Friday’s decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Houston’s denial. The office of Attorney General Kamala Harris had defended the law in court.
“It’s bad enough if the government tells you what you can’t say, but a law that tells you what you must say — under threat of severe punishment — is even more unjust and dangerous,” said ADF senior counsel Matt Bowman following release of the ruling. “In this case, political allies of abortionists are seeking to punish pro-life pregnancy centers, which offer real hope and help to women.”

Here is yet another example of religious freedom being denied by a court. It will only get worse, steel yourselves for the persecutions to come.
Oh, and Hillary voters, imagine what her Supreme Court will force upon us…
The Homo-Nazi Takeover of Germany provided a model for the Corruption of the American ‘justice’ Farce of the Abomination:

Officials in the Alabama Supreme Court are busy ridding themselves, their courtroom, their offices and their building of Chief Justice Roy Moore
Moore was suspended for the remainder of his term by a state committee over claims by the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center that he was telling probate judges what to do, even though he specifically said he wasn’t telling them what to do
He’s filed an appeal and a motion to recuse a…
I hope you’re still smiling when you stand before THE JUDGE, Dorothy!
William Donahue of the Catholic League has several good articles about Hilary Clinton’s hatred of the Catholic Church’s moral teachings, and the “La Femme, Women of Truth” website has several links that seem to give proof that several of the women who claimed they were groped by Donald Trump were out and out lying. You can google “The Catholic League” and “La Femme, Women of Truth” websites to get the info. One should make sure they add “Women of Truth” to the “La Femme” as there are other sites with the similar name of “La Femme”. At least some of them are bad.
Correction: That is Les Femmes, the Women of Truth. Scroll down on the website and click on the blue link which will take you to several articles. It is the second article.
Things will only get much worse under a Hillary Clinton presidency.
She will appoint US Supreme Court, and Federal Court Justices of like mind.
Clinton is AGAINST Freedom of Religion.

Indeed Hilary is full of hot air. She acts as if women have done it all on their own. What planet is she from. Instead of “Woman takes her life from man and gives it back again”, she claims they did it all. Just hilarious!
Correction: she thinks we women did it all on our own.
The Germany had lots of judges who “ruled” in favor of their Nazi masters. The Democratic Party has added to the insanity of a hedonistic culture of the 1960’s that is now in power. America is the land of sexual license, regardless the cost. The idiot judges are merely understanding what the party wants, not what the Constitution requires.
American “liberal fools” have all needed to grow up and face adult responsibilities, since the 1960s! One cannot go on forever, living a LIE!! There is NO SUCH THING– as so-called “freedom!” We have a responsibility, for all of our actions! How can SELFISH LIBERAL FOOLS have 1960s-type protests against wars– and yet, have NO COMPASSION AT ALL for KILLING LITTLE BABIES WHO ARE THEIR SONS AND DAUGHTERS, IN THE WOMB?? IS NOT LIFE TRULY PRECIOUS TO THEM?? I think not!
I used to LAUGH at the phony, worthless college kids, burning their draft cards, and going to mindless war protests, during the 1960s— a silly, “college kid” fad, to them, not a serious endeavor, for those truly troubled about the war in Viet Nam! They simply didn’t want to go get killed in that war– no, they wanted to stay home, and be worthless bums on college campuses, sleeping with their girl friends irresponsibly, going to horrible, mindless rock “music” concerts, taking dope, and being led around by the nose, by sick, worthless, rock “musicians,” who dictated daily to them all, how to live! Very SICK bunch! Now, look what they all have done!!
Give a form, with photos of aborted children, and a disclaimer: “By accepting this referral (list from tel book) you acknowledge that we (name of org) are not liable for any loss to you, including uterine perforation, bleeding, mental anguish, emotional distress, death, and any other loss, which is the sole responbilbility of yourself and whoever abets you in the killing of your child(ren). We provide this info under duress and penalty of law against our conscience and religious beliefs.” A lawyer can do better.
Remember, Hitlery Clinton has said that Margaret Sanger (Planned Parenthood Founder) was “wonderful” and that HRC was “in awe” of her.
Try taking the quiz linked at Fr. Z’s blog, “Who Said It: Hitler or Margaret Sanger?” It’s a tough one. Fr. Z says he only got a 62% himself. HRC would be “in awe”, then of Adolf, we should suppose.

“Smiling faces do tell lies.”
I’ve been saying: Christianity is becoming de facto illegal in California.
Does clothing determine intelligence or omniscience? Men and women, wearing white coats and carrying stethescopes have been given god-like authority to control everyone’s body, by men and women wearing black robes who have written down words on pieces of paper such as “thou shalt” and suddenly human beings have lost their freedom to think, act, understand and process data.
In a 1999 book by Julian Simon entitled “Hoodwinking the Nation” he quotes Jacob Talmon who coined the phrase “totalitarian Democracy” which could be used to define what today’s Court system and politically appointed judges will do with their position. Speech, and therefore information, is now, in California strickly controlled l limited and prescripted by…
Does this law require abortion mills to provide information about pro-life medical clinics? Does anyone know?
It does not. In Democrat-controlled California, the purpose of the law is to encourage abortion, not live births. Democrats aren’t interested in educating women about all the options available; they’re only interested in educating women about abortion, forcing pro-life Christians to advocate abortion, forcing Christian churches and schools to pay for insurance that covers elective abortion, having taxpayer-funded abortion, and encouraging abortion every way they can.
“God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools … and he has not been disappointed. … If I have brought any message today, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.” (Speech at Living the Catholic Faith conference, 2012.) – Justice Antonin Scalia

Right on !!! I am amazed at the chutzpah of the party-line Leftists who scoff at the late Justice Scalia because of his (well-studied, serious, and life-long) devotion to the Faith. They cast him as a dolt because he was a believer. Would that they had even 10% of his intellect—as well as his human warmth and dignity. Not that all who are generally classed as liberals joined this derision: Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Scalia’s jurisprudential opposite on the Court, publicly lauded him as a “legal titan”; a “friend” and a “tremendously warm man”—-deserved praise from a Justice who is no intellectual slouch himself. Ditto for Justices Ginsburg and Kagan as well.
Some good news about California:
SurveyUSA Poll on Prop. 62
October 18, 2016 4:25 PM
SurveyUSA has released another California poll. As with the two previous polls they surveyed on Prop. 62, the death penalty repeal initiative, but not on Prop. 66, the “fix it” initiative.
Prop. 62 has slipped three points since the previous poll and now trails by 18%. The pollsters still characterize it as “headed for defeat.”
This woman judge is 88 years old and one of the founders of the Western Center on Law and Poverty. She’s merely a tool for the liberal progressives on the 9th Circuit.
Google her name and read her bio. Why did these groups use the 9th circuit to hear their plea? No pro life legislation can get through that cabal. Are the pregnancy centers, Obria. etc. going to abide by this decision? Are you going to start acting like a pitch man for the baby killers?
