CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR BROWN SIGNS LAW FORCING PREGNANCY CENTERS TO INFORM CLIENTS OF ABORTION OPTIONS

CHRISTIAN HATE ON DISPLAY
PAY BACK FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD EXPOSURE: ATTACK PREGNANCY CENTERS BY REQUIRING THEM TO ADVERTISE 
BABY BUTCHERING
DAVID CHIU, CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLYMAN ABOVE;
AUTUMN BURKE, CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLYWOMAN BELOW AT PODIUM WITH CHIU TO THE RIGHT
NO LAUGHING MATTER! THESE ARE
JUST LIKE THE BITCH OF BUCHENWALD
IF CONGRESS SUSPENDS FUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD, 
THEY WILL FORCE PREGNANCY CENTERS TO REFER CLIENTS 
TO ABORTION PROVIDERS 
FIGHT CHRISTIANS: "KEEP ABORTION GOING"
FROM: http://jezebel.com/california-assembly-passes-bill-requiring-pregnancy-cen-1707159167republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
The California Assembly has passed AB 775, the Reproductive FACT Act, which will make it harder for crisis pregnancy centers to actively mislead their clients. The act requires that CPCs post notices disclosing that they don’t have medical licenses; licensed medical facilities will post notices that California has public programs to help pay for family planning services, prenatal care and abortion.
Anti-abortion groups are grumbling that the bill requires them to “promote” abortion, as Breitbart put it. But the fun thing about laws is that they’re publicly available for everyone to read; the full text of the bill is here, and it makes it quite clear that crisis pregnancy centers without medical licenses—the vast, vast majority of them—simply have to disclose that fact: 
Unlicensed facilities that advertise and provide pregnancy testing and care must advise clients, at the time they are seeking or obtaining care, that these facilities are not licensed to provide medical care.
It seems fairly basic that non-medical facilities should have to disclose that they’re not medical facilities. The bill is now heading to the Senate,where it will be heard in committee by June 8.
In the meantime, Assembly Member Autumn R. Burke, who’s co-sponsoring the bill, continues to reply to its critics by politely pointing out that they’re a bunch of lying liars; in a radio interview this week, she told Capital Public Radio that even the names of the CPCs tend to be misleading: “When they have titles like Pregnancies Alternatives, [clients] believe they are going to be given all of the alternatives.” It’s almost like the entire purpose is to be misleading.

THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE
EXCERPT: "AB 775 also helps address the public health threat posed by anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs). NARAL Pro-Choice California conducted a year-long undercover investigation of CPCs, revealing a disturbing pattern of medical misinformation and manipulation of women. The results of the investigation can be found at www.cpclies.com."
"UNMASKING (SO CALLED) FAKE CLINICS"
"Crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) are anti-choice organizations that pose as legitimate 
reproductive health centers. They put their ideological agenda ahead of women’s health 
and use manipulative tactics to block women from choosing abortion. They often advertise 
as if they provide abortion services, drawing people in by promising free reproductive 
health services, including free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and options counseling. 
They spread medical misinformation and shame women about their reproductive health 
care choices. Care Net is one of the major umbrella organizations for CPCs, claiming 
1,100 centers around the country. One of the ways CPCs are able to operate with 
impunity is by staying under the radar. 
So when Care Net activists from around the country came to San Diego to learn 
more about running these deceptive centers, we ran this ad to expose them and 
the ways they prey on women."

CALIFORNIA FORCES PREGNANCY CENTERS TO INFORM CLIENTS OF ABORTION OPTIONS 
BY MICHAEL TENNANT
and research purposes:

California Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed into law Friday a bill that requires crisis-pregnancy centers, which encourage women to bear children rather than abort them, to “distribute information on where and how to obtain a state-funded abortion,” reports LifeNews.com.
The law, which was sponsored by NARAL Pro-Choice California, is officially known as the Reproductive FACT Act, but pro-lifers have dubbed it the “Bully Bill.” It passed both houses of the California legislature on a party-line vote, with Democrats in favor.
The law mandates that pregnancy centers offering medical services either post the following notice or distribute it to all clients, even going so far as to specify the size of the font for the notice:
California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care, and abortion for eligible women. To determine whether you qualify, contact the county social services office at [insert the telephone number].
Pregnancy centers that do not offer medical services are required to post or distribute a notice informing clients of that fact.
Pro-life groups are up in arms over the law, arguing quite persuasively that it infringes on constitutionally protected rights including freedom of speech.
“Every woman should have all the information she needs to care for herself and her family during an unexpected pregnancy,” Jor-El Godsey, vice president of pregnancy-center association Heartbeat International, told Pregnancy Help News. “The issue with this bill is that it does — despite its authors’ assertions to the contrary — trample on the First Amendment rights of locally funded grassroots organizations, while forcing these organizations to effectively refer for abortions.”
“Does the government have a right to tell a newspaper what to write, a preacher what to preach, a private school what to teach? Of course not,” Assemblywoman Shannon Grove (R-Bakersfield) said in a statement. “So why is it okay for the government to force prolife pregnancy centers against their will to advertise and promote government abortion services?”
“Democrat legislators claimed this is necessary because the information provided by prolife pregnancy care centers is not ‘fully-informed,’” Grove added. “So according to this logic, if the government finds that your message isn’t ‘fully-informed,’ it now has a right to compel you to do say [sic] things you do not believe in. The founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves.”
In a statement accompanying his introduction of the bill into the Assembly, Assemblyman David Chiu (D-San Francisco) argued that pregnancy centers represent “a growing and alarming movement … working to mislead women in order to achieve their political ideology. We have a responsibility as lawmakers to make sure that the information given to women who are making their own healthcare decisions is accurate and timely.”
That same press release refers to the supposed “public health threat posed by anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs),” citing a NARAL “undercover investigation of CPCs” that revealed “a disturbing pattern of medical misinformation and manipulation of women.”
However, as Assemblyman James Gallagher (R-Nicolaus) pointed out during a Judiciary Committee hearing, that NARAL report had “zero source documentation … no videotapes, no recording, pure hearsay.” That’s a far cry from the repeated video recordings of Planned Parenthood officials’ eagerly selling aborted babies’ body parts to the highest bidder. Indeed, as Pregnancy Help News observed, “If pregnancy centers truly are handing out wrong information and lying in their advertising, why can’t anyone bust them?” All backers of the California law had on their side was that single NARAL report; there should have been a mountain of verifiable evidence if their assertions were true.
The real mindset behind the law was revealed by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), who claims she once visited a crisis-pregnancy center when she found herself unexpectedly pregnant years earlier. “When an unplanned pregnancy becomes a child, it’s not an unwanted child,” Gonzalez said. “It is very much a decision.”
“Rep. Gonzalez’ assertion that ‘choice’ can transform an ‘unplanned pregnancy’ into a ‘wanted child’ perfectly captures the deeply unscientific and unproven grounds of this Bully Bill,” Godsey told Pregnancy Help News. “It is curious that a lawmaker pushing for a bill under the auspices of healthcare information would need to resort to such a straightforwardly un-scientific and false statement as this.”
Minority Floor Leader Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto) made it clear which side of the debate has faith in women to make the right decisions. “We should trust women to make their own choices, and this bill prevents that,” Olsen said during the floor debate over the bill. “Women choose to seek assistance from these pregnancy centers. Nobody forces them to go, nobody forces them to stay. They choose to go and they have the option to leave at any time.”
Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno) called the bill “an effort to force objectionable, state-mandated speech on pro-life pregnancy care centers.”
“Two of my adopted children and all three of my grandchildren are the living witnesses of the profound and life-affirming options these centers provide,” Patterson continued. “Privately-funded Pregnancy Resource Centers, and the compassionate people who volunteer at them, have a First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech. And it is our duty as officers of the state of California to protect that right, not to assault it.”
There are some bright spots among the dark clouds of the new law. For one thing, as Marie Leatherby, director of Sacramento Life Center, told LifeNews.com, “We must really be hurting the abortion business if they have to come after us and have us advertise for them.” For another, the law will almost certainly be challenged in court and stands a good chance of being struck down as unconstitutional, as happened to similar laws in Austin, Texas; Baltimore and Montgomery County, Md.; and New York, N.Y.
Meanwhile, California pro-lifers can surely look forward to the day when the state forces abortion clinics to refer women to crisis-pregnancy centers — just to make sure they’re “fully informed.”

THE BUTCHERS CELEBRATE
Thank You, NARAL Members: Victory On
The Reproductive FACT Act!
Published on Oct 9, 2015
On October 9, 2015, the Reproductive FACT Act (AB 775) was signed into law in California. Thanks to your efforts, California has passed the first ever statewide bill to raise the standard for informing women and crack down on anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers.


FOUR MONTHS AGO, THE BITCH COMES OUT FROM BEHIND THE PRETTY FACE AND BARES HER TEETH WHEN QUESTIONED; DEFLECTS IT BY TAKING OFFENSE:
"IT'S MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT"; "AS A WOMAN, I'VE EARNED THAT RIGHT" TO AN ABORTION; "IT'S THE LAW"

Chiu, Supporters Urge Passage of
Reproductive FACT Act
Published on May 20, 2015
(Sacramento) – At a state capitol news conference, alongside women’s healthcare providers and religious leaders, Assemblymembers David Chiu (D – San Francisco) and Autumn R. Burke (D – Inglewood) urged lawmakers to support AB 775, the Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency (FACT) Act. The Reproductive FACT Act requires licensed facilities that provide family planning and pregnancy-related services to inform patients about available assistance for affordable contraception, abortion, and prenatal care, including how to obtain that assistance. Facilities that offer similar services but do not have a medical license must disclose that they are not licensed facilities. “California provides innovative public programs that offer critical reproductive and prenatal health care to women, regardless of ability to pay,” said Assemblymember Chiu. “We know that reproductive and pregnancy-related care is time sensitive. Our legislation ensures that women receive timely and standard care when seeking services in our state, no matter where they go.” AB 775 is co-sponsored by Attorney General Kamala Harris, NARAL Pro-Choice California, and Black Women for Wellness. Here’s more from Assemblymember Chiu in this Assembly Access video. http://www.asmdc.org/chiu

(Sacramento, CA) – Governor Jerry Brown today signed Assembly Bill 775, the Reproductive FACT Act, which would allow women to be aware of the full spectrum of reproductive health care services that are available to them in California. AB 775 is authored by Assemblymembers David Chiu (D – San Francisco) and Autumn Burke (D – Inglewood).
At a time when reproductive rights are under attack nationwide, California has adopted the nation's first state bill taking on anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers. AB 775 requires that unlicensed facilities that provide pregnancy-related services disclose that they are not licensed medical providers. Licensed reproductive health clinics must notify patients that California has programs to help them access affordable family planning, abortion services and prenatal care. The bill is sponsored by Attorney General Kamala Harris, NARAL Pro-Choice California and Black Women for Wellness.
“It is now law in California that women will be made aware of the full spectrum of reproductive health services that our state provides,” said Assemblymember Chiu. “While it is unfortunate that so-called crisis pregnancy centers have continued to spread lies about women’s health, this law will help clear up confusion with the facts about how women may receive reproductive, prenatal and abortion care in California.”
"This is a big victory for all women in California," said Assemblymember Burke (D-Inglewood).  "Each and every one of us deserves to have accurate and complete information wherever we turn for care, especially when making some of the biggest decisions of our lives."
“I am proud to have co-sponsored the Reproductive FACT Act, which ensures that all women have equal access to comprehensive reproductive health care services, and that they have the facts they need to make informed decisions about their health and their lives.  I commend Governor Brown for signing AB 775 and thank Assemblymembers David Chiu and Autumn Burke for championing this important law.”
"This is what it looks like to respect women: empower us and trust us to make the best decisions for ourselves and our families," said Amy Everitt, state director of NARAL Pro-Choice California. "Today, California became the first state in the nation to raise the standard for informing women and mitigate the dangerous impact of anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers. This is an exciting victory for supporters of true reproductive freedom, and just one more step in our campaign to expose CPCs and hold them accountable for their dangerous tactics."
"Black Women for Wellness is excited that California is able to continue its record of being a ​leader in women's health. Today, we are one step closer in making sure that all women are able to make choices about their reproductive health free from coercion and shame. Informing women of the full range of choices available to live healthy full lives regardless of, race, income or geographic location, continues to actualize the ideas of reproductive justice.”
The Reproductive FACT Act is supported by more than 40 organizations including reproductive freedom, medical and faith groups. In August, more than 100 faith leaders signed an open letter declaring their support for the bill.
Assemblymember David Chiu (D – San Francisco) is the Assistant Speaker Pro Tempore of the California State Assembly and represents the 17th Assembly District, which encompasses the eastern portion of San Francisco.

"New assault on human life: AB 775 would force 

pregnancy centers to advertise abortion!":
EXCERPT:
By Lori Arnold
Research Analyst
"California’s grisly abortion industry is in the midst of a government-sponsored boon. In 2013, the state waived safety regulations for abortion clinics (AB 980) and reduced the medical standards required to perform abortions by allowing certain nurses to do the surgeries (AB 154). And last year, the California Department of Health cut all medical reimbursements by 10 percent while increasing taxpayer funding of abortions providers by 40 percent. But abortion profiteers like Planned Parenthood and NARAL are still not content with state taxpayers as their sugar daddy. They are now pushing new discriminatory regulations that would force local Pregnancy Care Centers and Clinics (or PCCs, which provide free and confidential support services to pregnant mothers) to advertise and promote chemical and surgical abortions. Under the provisions of AB 775 (Chiu, D-San Francisco), PCC’s that provide medical services such as ultrasounds would be required to refer all clients to Medi-Cal programs that provide free abortions. In addition, any non medical centers that offer free counseling, pregnancy support, and parenting classes would be required to post signage stating they are “not licensed facilities.” Both types of PCCs would also be coerced to include such statements in all advertising."
