In this episode of Life Matters Commissioner Johnston (former Commissioner an Aging for California) interviews Sheila Green, J.D., Central California Vice President of the California ProLife Council and Right To Life Federation.
Attorney Green explains the actual state of abortion law in California, a situation that both the media as well as the abortion industry and the government do not wish to have publicly discussed. Citing government statute, and the Medi-Cal handbook for abortion providers, Ms. Green explains that abortion in California is unregulated. It is legal through all nine months of pregnancy, and there is no requirement for medically indicated reasons, even in late-term. It is any abortion at any time, for any reason, or for no reason in particular. All abortions in California are available for payment by the California tax-payer.
Ms. Green also explains that there are existing statutes that would require a child born in the course of an abortion to be protected, but given the fact that all other abortion regulations have been suspended, there is no enforcement vehicle or inspectors to ensure that infant’s life is protected. There are no penalties associated with violation, and without a system of accountability, the law is meaningless. (California Health and Safety Code, 123435) While unenforced, it does reflect the sentiment of most Americans.
