California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned. California already has a law protecting doctors who provide abortions from out-of-state judgments.

I don't see how the CA doctors are in any way colonizing anything.

They're not. At least not in the majority rational view. That's just some old mad folks in the Catholic church thinking so and feeling the need to say something.

There's actually a LOT of interesting info on the article..For example they ban Facebook from giving info to law enforcement from other states about Cali related abortion pill mail/doctors even if it's a legitimate judge signed subpoena. I believe that covers investigations including conversations between two individuals about getting an abortion. California is really saying "Get fucked Texas and similar states. We The People say so."

I understand, that's why I was trying to translate their statement into reality-based words. I thought you were defending their position based on your response.

ah, I thought you were trying to understand if the Catholic church folks that made the argument thought they were being mailed to random people so I was just explaining what I thought they meant. We're on the same page.

I think I somehow missed this part, in the very end of your first comment, and if I hadn't missed it I probably wouldn't have commented... but hey, it sparked a good discussion.

whether those women are Catholic or not, and that control should rest with the government of the state they reside in."
