The following comes from a Jan. 13 release from Americans United for Life.
Americans United for Life released the 2015 Life List and Life List All Stars after analyzing progress made legislatively or in litigation in 2014. The Life List takes into account the 50 states’ overall advances since Roe v. Wade toward re-building a culture of life, including events of the last year. Coming in at number 1 for the 6th year in a row is Louisiana followed by Mississippi, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
“In the last four years, states have enacted more than 200 pro-life laws protecting women and girls from abortion industry abuses,” said AUL President and CEO Dr. Charmaine Yoest….”
Pro-life All-stars in 2014 were Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arizona, Texas, and Indiana.
How safe women are from abortion industry abuses and substandard care depends on the laws of the states in which they live. The 2015 Women’s Health and Safety Rankings illustrates the level of legal protections found across the country, as outlined in the Women’s Protection Project. Only nine states offer strong legal protections for women; 16 states provide moderate protection, 12 states offer minimal protection and sadly, 13 states are ranked as dangerous for their failure to regulate the abortion industry by holding them accountable for the conditions they create that can endanger women.

AUL’s strategy has attracted a lot of attention in recent years; New York Times Magazine observed that AUL “put more muscle into fighting for restrictions on the state level — chipping away at Roe one legislature at a time….”

It’s understandable that California is among the least caring State about life.
Most CA Bishops don’t teach about the INTRINSIC EVILS in regard to
VOTING requirements (abortion, euthanasia, contraception, homosexual marriage, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning).
And the IGNORANT Catholic voters keep sending evil people to local governments, Sacramento, and Washington DC.

Get rid of that silly 40 page USCCB Document on Voting and concentrate on what is most important today in the USA regarding Intrinsic Evils.
And don’t give us any more garbage that violates the CCC such as your push regarding the Death Penalty in entirety, and ILLEGAL Immigration which discriminates against those who are waiting to get into this Country legally.
Bishops please read the 2014 California Democratic Party Platform.
Your State Democratic Party Platform (goals) is loaded with intrinsic evils, and you just sit on your hands like lumps rather than teach.
You have your Diocese financially support the California Conference of Catholic Bishops, and they are worthless regarding the intrinsic evils.
Is it any wonder that CA is in the mud ?
Euthanasia is coming, and they sit on their hands.
They poison other States with their Federal elected officials.
Hosea 4:6 ” My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.”
