Pro-life pregnancy centers in California must choose between providing abortion information or paying fines.

They face that dilemma after California judges denied multiple requests for preliminary injunctions against a law that went into effect January 1, mandating that all licensed pregnancy centers "disseminate to clients" a message promoting public programs with "free or low-cost access" to abortion and contraceptive services.

Pregnancy centers that fail to disseminate this message "are liable for a civil penalty of five hundred dollars ($500) for a first offense and one thousand dollars ($1,000) for each subsequent offense." ...

Violates first amendment.

You can bet that the USSC will find otherwise if they get to hear this.

[Jacquerie]

Judge Mueller determined that the interests of the clinics in refusing to promote abortion were outweighed by the interests of the State to ensure women receive information about all their options.

State interests outweigh the 1st Amendment and the Laws of Nature.

Elections alone cannot cure what ails our nation.

No kidding. Gay marriage, abortion, unisex showers . . . it’s what the Constitution is all about.

The request was again denied on December 30 by a panel of Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judges who said the clinics were unlikely to prevail in their appeal of a federal judge s ruling allowing the law to take effect, the news website SFGate reported.

They will now have to go en banc to the full 9th Circuit.

But here is another reason the entire 9th Circuit at the Federal level needs to be disbanded.

OK, but the abortion information they provide should be all on the negative side. Tell them how it destroys a human life and the potential consequences both mental and physical of having an abortion. That’s abortion information worth providing...

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What “information” would they have to provide?

I suppose this wouldn’t cut the mustard: “You can also go to places like Planned Parenthood and have your baby murdered, chopped up, and sold to the highest bidder.”

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Easy. Comply. Show the hidden camera videos. Nothing could be more informative than that.

[kidd]

Will Planned Parenthood offer medical advice about the risks of an abortion (increased incidence of breast cancer, post-abortion mental trauma, etc)?

[Mom MD]

I would provide abortion information. Just maybe not the kind they want. Like the info printed on a picture of an aborted fetus?

[JudyinCanada]

That’s what I thought - this could work in their favour. Show The Silent Scream. Testimonies from people who have been there would be very useful information.

[Dr. Sivana]

Well, if that information is to be provided, it must be provided in ALL languages. I imagine there are a few dozen local African languages, South American Indian Languages, a phoneticized version (cyrillic alphapbet of course) of any Australian aboriginal languages. The English version will be 3/4s of the way through.

Oh, and the English version will be VERY well written. Lots and lots of subordinate clauses and bureaucratese.

[stylin19a]

Is the reverse also required ? abortion providers must disseminate to clients” a message promoting alternatives ?

crickets chirping.....

[Dr. Sivana]

I’ve got it. Put the information on the back of a coupon for a free breakfast or box of donuts at the restaurant on the same block. Coupon must be submitted for free food.

[cuban leaf]

Yep.

[C210N]

Semaphores would work just great.

[cuban leaf]

Yep.
It would be fun to list the local abortion centers with a complete rundown of their botched abortion stats.

[almcbean]

Yes, complete with pictures
