California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday declared that the state will welcome women seeking abortions amid a push in conservative states to ban the procedure.
Newsom signed a proclamation touting the state’s commitment to upholding reproductive rights.
“California will continue to uphold women’s equality and liberty by protecting their reproductive freedom, educating Californians about their rights to reproductive freedom, welcoming women to California to fully exercise their reproductive rights, and acting as a model for other states that want to ensure full reproductive freedom for women,” the proclamation reads.
Newsom also joined the Democratic governors of Oregon and Washington in writing a letter urging fellow governors to protect abortion rights in their states.
“In the absence of federal leadership on this issue, states must step up and put in place their own protections — both in statute and in their state constitutions, and through the expansion of family planning and education — to defend every American’s right to reproductive freedom,” the letter, signed by Newsom, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, reads.
Newsom’s proclamation comes as a number of state governments pass legislation to ban or restrict abortion rights.
On Thursday, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards became the first Democratic governor to sign a so-called heartbeat abortion bill, which effectively bans the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy. The move made Louisiana the sixth state to enact such a ban in recent months.

As if the State hasn’t been infested with the demonic enough.
Now Governor Genius has invited Satan and his minions to take up permanent residence.
They will take him up on his offer.
God help the Golden State.
God has already promised his aid. We have that as an objective guarantee:
“And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Matt. 16, 18 – 20.
We are already attacking the diabolical license of abortion. Give God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) the deference that He knows what, when and how to defeat the enemy.
California’s two metropolitan archbishops and their willing accomplices can take a lesson fron Bp. Paprocki’s example in the diocese of Springfield:

And Jesus cries!
Is it possible for a state to be possessed? California is looking close.
I thought the bishops consecrated the state of California to Mary a year ago. So why all this evil?
As an outsider looking in, I can say I don’t want to visit.
Sandra,
Man’s free will is real. He can over-ride God’s will. Also, a consecration should not be confused with magic.
so what is the actual, real effect of a consecration?
In His own time. God (father, Son and Holy Spirit), the BVM and all the angels and saints are not beholden to our time schedule. They are outside of our notion of time and space, and are not constrained by those constraints to which we are subject. In the meantime:
“Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, our mother; to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen.”
As a Catholic facilitating abortion, has he not excommunicated himself?
Let’s pray that a bishop makes that public.
Deacon Craig,
You are SO RIGHT ON!!!!!!
What will it take for the Bishops to do what is SO LONG OVERDUE??????
Add Pelosi, Biden, Speier, Cuomo and the list goes on, sadly.
John Paul II had it right, “Culture of Death.”
Deacon Craig – don’t hold your breath!
They like his death penalty moratorium too much to criticize him. They don’t really care about abortion. If they did they would be holding him up against the wall. Bishop Gomez said, “It’s a great day for California” after the death penalty moratorium. Well, Gomez, is it still great in California? Is it great to have fake Catholic Newsom as the governor? On the balance, is it great? Where’s the courage from the bishops instead of the politically correct virtue signaling and playing footsie with Democrat politicians?
Anonymous, you are right on!
Don’t hold your breath.
CalCatholic you are slipping.
Forgot to point our Friday was May 31, Feast of the Visitation.
Gavin Newsom says he is a Catholic.
“Reproductive Rights” Talk about an Orwellian term. Reproductive Rights mean nothing less than the slaughter of the unborn. Children made in the image of God ripped apart in their mother’s wombs. This is DEMONIC.
Read on Lifesite News over the weekend the pro aborts are now calling a fetal heartbeat an “embryonic pulsing” to avoid the new heartbeat laws and keep up their delusions and denials.
It absolutely baffles me why the Left is so adamant about killing babies!! They are mostly intent in carrying out Margaret Sanger’s mission to “rid the population of Negroids and other undesirables.” The hypocrisy of the Left is multifaceted and yet a large number of (c)atholics, including bishops and priests, still vote to keep the Democrats in the majority in California.
Newsom is NOT a practicing Catholic.
He married his second wife with self described “medium” Carole Simone officiating in the Montana woods.
Militant Leftsist friends like Willie Brown, Nancy Pelosi and Norman Lear attended.
No priest, no Catholic ceremony. Newsom is no longer Catholic and his words and deeds are anti-Catholic.
What is important though is the absolute silence of the CA Catholic bishops and their lobbyists.
But he is a Catholic. Once Catholic always Catholic. Bad Catholics are still Catholics. Nonpracticing Catholics are still Catholics. Baptism or reception into full communion has that permanent effect.
People seem to forget that if Roe v. Wade is overturned it will not outlaw abortion. It will return to the previous way where each state made its own laws regarding abortion, so thank God for the states outlawing abortion or at least fetal heart-rate laws.
Abortion is always an emotional issue for Americans. Gallup has been asking the same questions for years in one of their surveys. The results point to a divided country. In 2018, 48% of Americans said they were pro-choice and 48% said they were anti-abortion compared to 1975 when 56% were anti-abortion and 33% pro-choice. The intensity of belief on either side is very strong. It is not unusual for pro-choice to call the anti-abortion folks immoral. The opposite is true as well.
You just cant bring yourself to type/say pro-life, can you? Hmm…
For the record, pro-abortion/pro-choice is immoral. Pope Benedict said a Catholic who supports abortion or who supports or votes for politicians who support abortion cannot go to Communion until he goes to Confession. Pope Francis said having an abortion is like hiring a hit man. There’s only one right and good stance about abortion, and it’s pro-life.
Well said Anon……..
Anon, I used the words of the survey. I am staunchly anti-abortion.
But notice again you couldn’t say Pro-Life….
Democrat Party is the party of state-sanctioned murder of children. Let that sink in. They promote it and support it and want government to pay for it, and they hate everyone who disagrees with them.
Catholuc church should grow a back bone and Excommunicate cino stiffs like. J. Brown., Gov. Newsome., Hr reps sanchez sisters and Pelosi …
