The following was emailed to Cal Catholic by one of our correspondents on June 15. The correspondent added that the 40% increase for abortion contrasts with the 10% cut for the rest of Medi-Cal.
Page 347 of the May 2014 Medi-Cal Local Assistance Estimate for fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 contains the specific language about the state’s plans:
The California Department of Health plans to “increase reimbursement rates for pregnancy termination services under Medi-Cal by 40%.”
The background for the 40% increase is presented on page 346:
“Until greater utilization of the most effective birth control methods (LARCs) occurs, for those women that have disparate access to family planning services, prescriptions for less effective methods of birth control, are victims of birth control sabotage, or other circumstances beyond their control, an increase in reimbursement rates for pregnancy termination services is warranted.
“These sensitive services must be immediately accessible statewide and provided in a very timely manner. Early statewide access insures services are less costly, whereas lack of access results in increased ongoing expenses for years. An increase in reimbursement rates will provide early and consistent access to services and significant cost-avoidance.”

Our tax dollars at work. Killing of the Innocent.
When are CATHOLICS and others of good will going to wake up and stop voting for immoral State politicians?
The 2014 California State DEMOCRATIC Platform supports:
EUTHANASIA (death with dignity);
ABORTION (women’s right to choose);
Contraception;
Transgenders to have full medical insurance (for their needed hormones and sex change operations);
Supporting stem cell research (does not exclude embryonic stem cells).
Supports homosexual adoption of children;
Supports homosexual marriage.
So what are our Bishops doing to educate Catholics on these topics?
What is being done in each Diocese to educate Catholics on these topics and voting?
The California Conference of Catholic Bishops is useless.
CA is $421,727,266,980 (BILLION) in debt.
We have 1.4 MILLION unemployed and this does not count those able bodies persons of working age not bothering to look for work. We have 4.4 MILLION on food stamps.
CA does not have AAA credit ratings in any category.
When is CA going to pay its just debts as required by “Commutative Justice” (CCC 2411) ?
Forgot that the 2014 CA State Democratic platform states that RELIGION is a “PRIVATE MATTER” – whatever that means.
So where are CA BISHOPS:
Jose Gomez (Los Angeles);
Richard Garcia (Monterey);
Stephen Blaire (Stockton);
Cirilo Flores (San Diego);
Gerald Barnes (San Bernardino);
Jaime Soto (Sacramento);
Armando Ochoa (Fresno),
etc ? ? ? ? ?
1) Have they made a Public Statement on the 2014 CA STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM intrinsic evils?
2) Have they started to teach on all the INTRINSIC EVILS adopted within the Dem Platform,
and if not why not?
We all know that if they leave it to a few weeks prior to the election, any statements will be ineffective.
The Bishops have an obligation both through their State Conference, but especially for their own Diocese.\
Contact your own Diocese Bishop and ask him to start teaching on the Intrinsic Evils in the 2014 State Democratic Platform.
Could it be that they’re just not cut out to be the shepherds of the flock that they were supposed to be?
Andrea,
Many of them, too many, are posing for photo-ops with these amoral Demoncrat politicians. Just pick up any of their so called Diocesan Papers to see that.
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!

The picture – stating private property – could not agree more.
Pay for your own sins (abortion and contraception). They are your private property.
Do not expect ALL taxpayers to pay for your private property, and private free will actions.
A measly 40% increase won’t be enough for the Pelosi Catholics.
Think that Pelosi might have something to do with this?
If your uterus is private, why do you demand public money for it?
Satan is immensely powerful and his angelic intelligence far surpasses that of Man. Until his presence is recognized, and the need for Christ and his Church to defeat that presence and influence, all definitions and budgets will work to only end — the debasement of Mankind and his moral downfall. Of course, you will not hear this from virtually any bishop or cardinal, as they ahve been largely brainwashed with the man-centric direction of the new Catholic Church (misapplying the already ambiguous messages of Vatican II). These things will only get worse, much, much worse.
I called my Assembyman Mullin’s district office and the staff member said the 40% was over exaggerated ! And that Planned Parenthood does so much good…..I informed her yeah, like contraceptive pills that are low dose, and when they do not work, the woman comes back to get an abortion, and then Planned Parenthood makes additional big money! Or the condoms which are the cheapest they can get (paid for by our tax money) and when they don’t work… 9 times out of 10…..the woman is back at Planned Parenthood again for an abortion. It is my understanding that they make from $250 to $2,500 depending on the size of the baby!
Just on a common sense side, why do they need our taxpayer money when they are making so money killing the babies at the prices I mention above? Totally Evil in all the sense of the word.
Elizabeth,
Correct me if am wrong about Mullin’s political affiliation, but what else did you expect from a staffer at a Demoncrat’s office?
May God have mercy on an amoral Amerika and His Church!
Viva Cristo Rey!
