Proposition 1 Goes Too Far And Risks Unintended Consequences

(Orange County Register) Proposition 1 on the November ballot will legalize abortion in California at any stage of any pregnancy, right up to birth, for any reason, and in just a moment, I will prove it to you.

First I’d like you to know that the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade had absolutely no effect on California law. Nothing is changed here.

The completely unnecessary Proposition 1 says this: “The state shall not deny or interfere with an individual’s reproductive freedom in their most intimate decisions, which includes their fundamental right to choose to have an abortion and their fundamental right to choose or refuse contraceptives.” That’s different than current state law, Health and Safety Code Section 123462(c), which reads, “The state shall not deny or interfere with a woman’s fundamental right to choose to bear a child or to choose to obtain an abortion, except as specifically permitted by this article.”



The exceptions are explained in Section 123466: “The state may not deny or interfere with a woman’s right to choose or obtain an abortion prior to viability of the fetus, or when the abortion is necessary to protect the life or health of the woman.”

Why The Rush To Legalize Marijuana Will Harm America

(Washington Stand) Earlier this month, President Biden pardoned 6,500 people across the nation who had been convicted in federal court of simple marijuana possession. Though the move didn’t free any of the 2,700 federal inmates convicted of marijuana possession, it did bring to the forefront a bill before Congress that may come to a vote in the upcoming lame duck session.

. . . .

Consider a few observations regarding current marijuana use. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the addictive ingredient in marijuana responsible for euphoria and intoxication. From 1995-2014, THC concentration in marijuana has tripled. In 2019, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory: “Recent increases in access to marijuana and in its potency, along with misperceptions of safety of marijuana endanger our most precious resource, our nation’s youth.”



Here are some statistics. Marijuana users are 25% more likely than non-users to be hospitalized, and national legalization would result in 6,800 more deaths for marijuana-impaired drivers. Marijuana use has been linked to a host of mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, psychosis, and even suicidal thoughts, especially among youth. Thirty percent of marijuana users will develop a cannabis use disorder, and they are also more likely to misuse prescription opioids. And despite arguments that marijuana is not a gateway to stronger drugs, more than 95% of heroin and cocaine users started with marijuana.

NBC News And Left Team Up To Take Control Of School Boards

(Faith and Freedom) NBC News said yesterday in a featured story, "Liberal parents are joining the school culture wars — but conservatives are way ahead."

"Multiple progressive groups are campaigning for school board candidates and training parents to become activists, but conservatives have a head start," they say.

With considerable concern, NBC warns the nation that the conservatives are taking over and how so-called "progressives" need to get in the game.

This call to action was, of course, given under the guise of "news."

. . . .

Back on July 12, 2021, the "news" organization quoted Jonathan Friedman, director of free expression and education at PEN America, a free speech advocacy group: "It’s 'highly alarming' that educators are resigning, facing dismissal and fearing for their lives due to conversations about racism and diversity."

He continued: “There is great risk that a creeping censoriousness will overtake our public schools, purging them of a diversity of teachers and talent and winnowing the critical lenses through which young people should be encouraged to view history and society."

Translated, he means he is panicked that fed-up parents and conservative school board members will control and stop the deeply rooted indoctrination of captive children in public classrooms.
