NEW FROM CALIFORNIA

God dammit, it went in real easy
 

The govern signed 997 bills into law this year.  As far as I can tell about half of them deal with abortion rights, transgender rights and shielding medical providers from scrutiny or legal action for doing things like providing abortions or doing radical gender affirmation surgery on minors.

One bill struck me as especially interesting in the wake of all the laws to PROTECT medical providers.  AB2098 makes it EASIER for the medical board to take action against a physician's license, including revocation of that license, if that physician spreads "false or misleading information" about Covid-19.  You can do a radical mastectomy on a 13-year or girl because she thinks she might actually be a boy but you can't tell a patient that her 13-year old child probably doesn't really need a Covid-19 shot and that the long-term side effects are unknown.
