FOX: California lawmakers have OK’d a Planned Parenthood-backed bill that creates new penalties for distributing secret recordings of discussions with health providers – but civil rights and media advocates say the measure goes too far.
The bill, which passed Friday and now goes to Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk, targets activists such as the Center for Medical Progress — which last year released secretly recorded videos purportedly showing activists discussing the purchase of aborted fetal body parts with Planned Parenthood representatives.
The videos, while criticized for selective editing, sparked significant outrage among Republicans who called for the organization to be defunded.
Recording and distributing a “confidential communication” without consent already is a crime under California law. However, the new bill adds an additional layer of penalties — including additional fines and up to a year in prison — specifically for recording a conversation with a health care provider. MORE
Both PP and the ACLU are extremist organizations. For PP to propose something that the ACLU denounces is extremely extreme.
I suppose it is good to see that there are limits. Now, if they’d only move those limit points.
I have yet to get an answer from any liberal, re: Why does PLANNED PARENTHOOD get a single cent of taxpayer money? The usual robot answers are given.
After they run through the talking points, I ask, if ‘everybody’ has the wonderful OBAMACARE, FREE, if needed, subsidized, as needed, paid for with TAXPAYER funds, WHY ARE WE PAYING AGAIN FOR CARE UNDER PLANNED PARENTHOOD? What the hell is that about?
Guess what. The responses, without fail, that I get are total blank outs. It’s like their brains overloaded or stalled looking for a matching talking point. I can almost smell the smoke as their talking points train runs off the track.
PP is a health care provider? News to the millions exterminated.
Since when is killing people “Healthcare”?
PP would be better described as “Health-don’t-GaF”.
However, the new bill adds an additional layer of penalties — including additional fines and up to a year in prison — specifically for recording a conversation with a health care provider.
They told you abortion was healthcare?_ Does healthcare usually kill people?
