FULL TITLE: California Assembly passes bill specifically exempting abortion clinics from surgical building code standards
The state of California, who often leads the nation in laws and legislation, has taken a step backwards, as the California State Assembly passed an act to amend the current health and safety code in state medical facilities in a manner that would allow Planned Parenthood and other abortion clinics to have fewer requirements, allowing them to perform their life-taking surgeries in non-surgical facilities. Assembly Bill 980 passed Friday and now moves to the Senate for debate.
Assembly Bill 980 amends current California building codes by allowing surgical abortion centers to be exempted from facility standards that all other surgical medical centers must comply with. In part, the bill says:
(c) Notwithstanding any other law, the Building Standards Commission shall not adopt building code standards that establish construction requirements for primary care clinics that provide medication or aspiration abortion services that differ from construction standards applicable to other primary care clinics described in Section 1226.6 of the 2013 Triennial Edition of the Building Standards Code. (You can read the code here.)
Primary care clinics may include a place where you get a flu swab or strep test, and don’t generally include things as severe and risky as abortion. This legislation flies in the face of the direction of the nation, which has seen multiple laws actually enacting requirements for abortion facilities to be properly inspected and equipped to meet medical standards.
While many states have been tightening abortion restrictions to ensure that the Gosnells of the land are stopped in their tracks, the California Assembly has sent a message to abortion providers that the state’s legislators want to help abortionists do business and will aid in removing barriers to doing this – even when logical health and safety issues are presented. This special loophole just for abortion providers shows once again the symbiotic relationship between the abortion industry and its predominately Democrat pro-abortion political allies.
The California ProLife Council is currently trying to inform residents of this potential law’s passage and is asking all Californians to contact their legislators. To register your objection to this law, you may contact your legislator. This link will help you find the appropriate lawmaker.
I will bet that Butcher Shops are held to a higher standard than abortion clinics. Abortion clinic, sounds so friendly and helpful, these politicians care more about animals than Human babies!
This sort of thing DEMONstrates the depravity of California's Democrats. BTW, the state, and EPA, were fighting the use of aerial spraying to fight mosquitos last year ~ even if those same mosquitos could fly out over the Pacific a short distance to infect passing whales with encephalitis. Two whales in captivity died from that disease last year after being bitten by mosquitos typical of those found in California.
Regarding aerial spraying versus ground based methods (pucks mostly), the coastal mountains are in general entirely too steep to do a good mosquito abatement or eradication program, so the only practical way to get to the mosquitos is to do aerial spraying from helicopters and airplanes.
Excuse me, but weren’t the pro-abortionist worried about “back street abortions” if abortions become illegal?
Roe V. Wade, if properly read, authorized back alley abortions!
Get yourself a coathanger and an old barber chair and setup business in the back of a bar in LA or SF.... you’ll probably be overwhelmed with business from referrals from Planned Parenthood.
Interesting. Didn’t Roe vs Wade also prohibit an abortion if the baby could live outside the womb?
This was a major victory for rootworkers
