The California Senate Public Safety Committee heard strong support Tuesday for a bill that would add protections for those seeking abortion and gender-affirming care.
The question is whether supporters can now agree on the language of the proposed law.
The intent of Assembly Bill 793 is to ban reverse-location searches and reverse-keyword searches in cases involving reproductive and gender-affirming care. The location searches allow law enforcement to get cellphone records about people near a certain place. Reverse-keyword searches let law enforcement get information about people who used certain search terms online.
AB 793 next heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The bill’s author — Democratic Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, whose district includes Oakland, Alameda, and Emeryville — said she’s committed to focusing the bill on reproductive health and gender-affirming care….
State Senator Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, a Republican from Yucaipa, said she appreciated the intent of the bill. However, she questioned advancing a bill without knowing what its final language will state and that AB 793 keeps moving forward on “faith.”
“We haven’t seen anything concrete,” Bogh said, adding that she’d oppose the bill that day but looks forward to seeing its new language.
Another bill related to abortion had its day Tuesday before the Assembly Health Committee. Senate Bill 487 — sponsored by state Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat — would, among other acts, create protections for California health care providers who provide services in other states with different abortion laws.
Atkins, like Bonta in the earlier Senate hearing, invoked Dobbs. She said Dobbs emboldened some states to target abortion providers. SB 487 would shield those providers from repercussions in California.
For example, California providers would have protection from contract termination and discrimination for actions in other states that are not prohibited here….

I met kids in Navajo nation; one boy only had a ripped shirt. I bought him suit for medical schools interview. I grew up half in Detroit not rich. But my husband I am a softie for puppies. My daughter has a job with horses using it therapy for kids. I am so proud her.
What kind of person makes it a major occupational goal to maximize the slaughter of babies?
I am trying to make sense of this horrible story.
So, California legislators are planning on providing more protection to abortionists and transgender mutilators. Protection against whom? Pro-life advocates? Will pro-life advocacy, such as 40-Days for Life, be made illegal in our state?
And our shameless legislators are also planning on exporting abortion and transgender mutilation services to other states that ban the procedures? So, California will need to protect those butcher-providers presumably from future lawsuits arising from violation of other states’ laws?
Or am I reading too much into this sickening news incorrectly?
What has banning “reverse-location searches and reverse-keyword searches” to do with these demonic plans? How would California benefit from these horrendous projects?
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us. Our Lady of Guadalupe, come help California. Saint Joseph, pray for us. Saint Junipero Serra, pray for us.
Democrats are in too much of hurry to kill babies. Our unborn are our future. Save the unborn.
Decisions made in a hurry are often bad decisions. Thoughtful deliberation can turn bad decisions into better ones. Prayerful deliberation can turn better ones into really good ones. Let it be so, Dear Lord, let it be so.
Decisions made by Democrats are almost always bad decisions because they are based on Marxist principles.
