The date January 1st meant five more woke laws in California went into effect, making the state even more progressive than it was and five steps closer to the edge of the abyss.
This from townhall.com.
The Left’s woke ideology will be continuing its march in 2023.
Number One:
A law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September, is SB 107, which makes California a “sanctuary state” for transgender kids.
It will protect the use of drugs or surgery to provide “gender-affirming care” to kids who travel to California from states that have restricted allowing minors to receive the life-alternating surgery.
Sen. Scott Weiner (C/G-CA) said the bill offers:
[R]efuge to trans minors and their families if they’re being criminalized in their home states.
Number Two:
Abortion was on the top of many governors’ minds in 2022 with Republican states banning the procedure and [communist/globalist] states welcoming it with open arms.
SB 1375 will allow nurses to perform abortions without the help of a medical license doctor, which was passed alongside a referendum guaranteeing the right to abortion and contraception.
Under the new law, nurses will be able to perform the procedure without a doctor supervising in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Nurses performing the work of doctors. What could possibly go wrong?
Number Three:
[The next law that went] into effect on the first, is a Covid misinformation law.
Signed in September, the law will require medical licensing boards in the state of California to take disciplinary action against doctors who are involved with the “dissemination of misinformation or disinformation related to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, or ‘COVID-19’.
This one seems like California is intent on whipping dead horses, no? Let it go, already.
Number Four:
Additionally, Newsom signed a law that decriminalizes jaywalking because of ‘racism.’
Titled “Freedom to Walk Act,” the law will prevent law enforcement from stopping people who are crossing the street not at a crosswalk unless they are in visible danger.
The law claims that jaywalking is a racist crime because it is so-called enforced unfairly in “communities of color” where people apparently cannot afford to pay the fines.
“Unless they are in visible danger,” yes, like jay walking. Again, what could possibly go wrong with this law?
Number Five:
The fifth law, which is currently on hold by the courts, is state control of fast-food restaurants.
The law would create a ten-member politburo, aka the Fast-Food Council, which would serve for ten years, allowing them to set wages and working conditions for the fast-food industry.
After a group of restaurants collected petition signatures against the law sued, the law has been put on hold.
Final thoughts: Five more reasons never to return to California. But I don’t have an update on the state finally sliding into the Pacific Ocean.
