SACRAMENTO (LifeSiteNews) – California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Thursday a bill which pro-family advocates say claims custody of every child in America for the purpose of gender “transitioning.”
The Sacramento Bee reports that Democrat state Sen. Scott Wiener’s SB107 forbids doctors in the Golden State from releasing medical information on out-of-state children receiving gender “treatments” to investigators from their state of origin, forbids police from arresting anyone for violating other states’ laws against transitioning minors, and empowers courts to assert custody jurisdiction over gender-confused children from other states who have been taken to California for transition purposes.
“In California we believe in equality and acceptance,” Newsom declared. “We believe that no one should be prosecuted or persecuted for getting the care they need — including gender-affirming care. Parents know what’s best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear. We must take a stand for parental choice. That is precisely why I am signing Senate Bill 107.”
But opponents argue the bill is more likely to be used against the wishes of parents.
