In this episode of Life Matters, Commissioner Johnston explains exactly what happened in the closing days of the California state legislative session of 2019.
Brian reminds listeners that if they really care about human life and consider themselves to be pro-life they need to take the time to look into how laws are made because it is the laws that are designed to protect innocent lives. Once Roe v. Wade is overturned each of the states will have an opportunity to again protect innocent lives.
Senate Bill 24, which authorizes the distribution of the chemical abortifacient RU 486 in all state university and state college campuses, was passed in the wee hours of the final evening of the session.
Brian reminds us that the old saying “if anyone likes either sausages or laws they should never watch either one being made.” What this means is laws are often made in a very uncomely, inappropriate manner and it is up to us to watch and hold accountable, lawmakers who make this mess.
Brian also reminds us that we should not be disappointed and simply walk away or use the empty phrases “that you can’t legislate morality,” because laws are in fact the morality of a nation, and those nations will be judged for their laws and morals. Will they protect the vulnerable innocent or will they ipenly kill innocent human lives?
Every election allows us, as citizens, to have a voice in the process of lawmaking but also in the local community - especially down to the school board level where some of those most important community decisions are made.
