A controversial law requiring pro-life groups to provide abortion information to women, AB 775, has been upheld by the Ninth District Court.
The ruling is one of the worst blows to the pro-life movement in recent memory – and according to pro-life advocates, it’s nothing short of state-sponsored punishment by liberals against conservatives.
“It’s bad enough if the government tells you what you can’t say, but a law that tells you what you must say — under threat of severe punishment — is even more unjust and dangerous,” Senior lawyer Matt Bowman from the Alliance Defending Freedom, a public interest group representing the pro-life organizations, said.
“In this case, political allies of abortionists are seeking to punish pro-life pregnancy centers, which offer real hope and help to women. Forcing these centers to promote abortion and recite the government’s preferred views is a clear violation of their constitutionally protected First Amendment freedoms. That’s why other courts around the country have halted these kinds of measures and why we will be discussing the possibility of appeal with our clients,” Bowman said.
The controversial law, passed in April of 2015, requires that pro-life pregnancy crisis centers designed to counsel women who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant also provide these women information about how to find abortion providers with the following requirements: “A public notice posted in a conspicuous place where individuals wait that may be easily read by those seeking services from the facility. The notice shall be at least 8.5 inches by 11 inches and written in no less than 22-point type.
A printed notice distributed to all clients in no less than 14-point type.
A digital notice distributed to all clients that can be read at the time of check-in or arrival, in the same point type as other digital disclosures. A printed notice as described in subparagraph (B) shall be available for all clients who cannot or do not wish to receive the information in a digital format.”
“It is unfortunate, but not surprising, that the liberal Ninth Circuit Court three-judge panel upheld California’s violation of federal law, the U.S. Constitution, and human rights,” National Institute for Family and Life Advocates president Thomas Glessner told LifeNews.com. “The ‘Reproductive FACT Act’ forces pregnancy resource centers and medical clinics to violate consciences, free speech, and religious beliefs. This violation of the foundational roots of the American Republic will not stand.”
Pro-life organizations are considering an appeal.

one of main reasons to elect trump to keep court in line with the constitution
If there is any Constitution left after Oblama gets done with lt.
What constitution. Oh the one the politicians ignore and do as they please like baring freedom of speech and forcing people to distribute literature they want distributed.
I left out forcing people to ignore their religion and do business against their will. Isn’t that what the cartel does. Take this package across the border or you and your family will pay Clinton style.
Absolutely.
meg-
IMO, if these “judges” cannot point to the specific part of the Constitution which grants them the power to make such a “ruling,” they are in violation of their oaths of office, and should immediately be placed under arrest for felony perjury; upon conviction, they should be immediately removed from that office of Public Trust, fined an amount roughly equivalent to the entirety of their salaries and benefits while allegedly “serving,” and imprisoned for not less than 5 years.
Doing so will send a clear message that Americans will NOT put up with violations of the Constitution by sworn employees on the public dime.
Meg, if it were only that easy to hand out that kind of punishment. How to deal with Judges and any one else who works for the Federal Government Our Framers left us the method to force them to do their job or lose it.

Behold the prophetic words below:
“Your Constitution has been written as if only good men would take office. What will you do when evil men take office? When evil men take office, the whole gang will be in collusion! They will keep the people in utter ignorance and steal their liberty by ambuscade! Your laws on impeachment are a sham and a mockery due to mutual implication of government officials!”
Patrick Henry (American Lawyer, patriot, and orator, symbol of the American struggle for liberty, 1736-1799)
Impeachment? You’re kidding.
Perjury? Now, you’re talking.
Con Ma-
As important as the Federalist papers are – especially to convey the INTENT of the F&F – they are not law; perjury, however, IS a law, ergo lying under oath – even oath of office – is much more easily proven & accomplished than impeachment.
Amen!!!!!
Judge rules pro-life groups REQUIRED to promote abortion
OCTOBER 17, 2016 38 Commen
What you are seeing is forced involuntary Servitude, AKA “SLAVERY” /when the cake bakers were force to bake and Cater weddings or go bankrupt. Then had to pay $135,000.00 in one case and $150,000.00 in another was the price the Courts placed on the bakers was chosen
by the Judges as the value of not violating the bakers rights of Conscience. IN THIS CASE, This prolife business model needs to protect themselves by placing an astronomically high Value on their rights of conscience for each consultation. the Courts cannot intrude in the
financial operations of Businesses. After all the courts set the minimum value on rights of conscience. but this is not for Marriage, it’s life or Death! If Planned parenthood is the one who gets the benefi,t they need to pay for it at what ever value is chosen.
This news story reminds me of George Orwell’s 1984. Anyone read the book. He was extremely prophetic, but the date was slightly wrong. It’s happening now.
The right of individuals to be given knowledge/information about their options is paramount. Women need to be able to make an INFORMED decision about these options!!!!
Full of shit MUCH??? Baby killers have PLANNED PARENTHOOD to go to, leave PRO-LIFE people alone to consult with those who DON’T believe in MURDER!
Well stated Frank W Brown !
It is not murder! Quit spouting false statements! Medical evidence shows that! But I don’t agree with the decision!! But at the same time you push for what you believe, so there is nothing wrong in them pushing what they advocate! It works both ways and you need to accept that!
If abortion is NOT murder, exactly WHAT is it? Would it be murder if I put a knife in your neck and you died from it? Would it be murder if I crushed your skull and you died from it? I will gladly discuss the issue of whether abortion is acceptable but it is hard to discuss the issue with someone who says it is not MURDER to kill someone. I am always amazed how many minorities and those that promote minority rights so strongly support the right of white people to kill black babies. PP was designed to control the black population and use genocide for that result. It is still succeeding with that goal.
@stopspending: You’re right. They have just announced that THE FETAL HEARTBEAT BEGINS AT 14 DAYS. They are killing their own children in the uterus. PP did begin as a way to reduce negro babies/population. Check it out. These people are murdering babies. It’s an abomination.
They need to stop abortion as a means of birth control. Use birth control, folks. They’ve brainwashed women to think this is “women’s health” – baloney.
stopspending-
i used to agree with the “women’s choicers” until i read a very sagacious point by Dr. Ron Paul. If a drunk driver(or anyone else) kills a pregnant woman, the miscreant is charged with TWO murders.
So one cannot have it both ways; either the life in a woman’s womb IS a life worthy of convicting someone of murder over, or it is not; it REMAINS a life, even if a woman chooses to kill it by proxy, that is, call it a “medical procedure” and so salve a conscience…however temporarily.
Amen, but now it’s not just black babies, they want all babies dead, because they claim we the poor & middle class are taking up too much food & space. They have added in flu shots for the African women & very young girls a poison to make them infertile, genocide people! Also in India Vaccines causing the death of children with Polio, check it out & Hillary Clinton is very much for it she makes tons of money from the Big Pharma companies!
BS. They have proven that life begins at conceptio.
No, that is old news. They have since proven that babies in utero can feel everything they experience during an abortion.
Joe, stupid is , as stupid does. Your remark “Medical evidence shows that”? What is that evidence you moronic idiot? Abortion IS murder and nothing else, and I will NEVER accept otherwise.
It really hurts to see this country infested with so many imbeciles like you.
Babies feel pain inutero, fact. Babies breathe through their umbilical cord. If that is not life, you wouldn’t be walking and talking right now. Read your Bible. Thou Shalt Not commit Murder.
That baby (fetus) has a beating heart and electrical signals in it’s brain . God says that he knew that person before he ever was. What more do you want?
My question is does planned parenthood have to also give information about pro-life groups? This should not be a liberal way only issue.
You’re absolutely incorrect, Joe. Medical information does NOT show that unborn babies are not living … it show exactly the opposite.
The definition of “life:”
“the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.”
The definition of “killing:”
“an act of causing death, especially deliberately”
The scientific definition of “human cloning:”
“the creation of a genetically identical copy of a human. The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning, which is the reproduction of human cells and tissue.”
The scientific definition of “cell:”
“the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms”
The scientific definition of “human cell:”
“”the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms of the species ‘Homo sapiens’, functioning as uniquely defined by the genetic material of that species.'”
The scientific definition of “human:”
“of or by the species ‘Homo sapiens’, as uniquely defined by the genetic material of that species.'”
The definition of “murder:”
“the unlawful premeditated killing of one human by another”
Any questions?
Well, I would rather go to prison than promote abortion
I propose to you that there is a double standard and a conflict of interests when a government incarcerates murders on one hand and protects murderers on the other. Example by definition taking a persons life is murder. Now on the books if you kill a pregnant woman you will be tried for the murder of two persons, but if you abort the child in a pregnant woman it is not considered a person. Which is it a living being or not? By whom’s convenient definition? The murderers?
No Gods People & People with Morals DON”T have to except murdering babies & have to stand before God under His Judgment. According to WHO , every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day!!!
Amen! God even calls it murder!
If the pro-life pregnancy centers have to give information to promote abortion, then should’t these abortion centers have to give information on how to avoid an abortion?
Well Martin you’re talking about being Fair and that concept seems to be lost on the vast majority of Left-Wing thought!
My thoughts exactly!!
Why are the prolife centers being attacked? Possibly by Satan followers?
You hit it right on the Nose!
Are abortion providers required to provide the same sort of information about pro-life clinics?
Not if it violates freedom of Religion. There is no constitutional right to have someone inform you how to kill your baby.
INFORMED? Bullshiit! Where the hell are Planned Parenthood and the baby killer mills being required to post Pro-Life information for these so-called “Informed Decisions?”
You are an idiot, plain and simple-minded.
It is fairly obvious to kill or not to kill. They have already considered one option if they are on their way to the Planned Parenthood Office. I propose to you that there is a double standard and a conflict of interests when a government incarcerates murders on one hand and protects murderers on the other. Example by definition taking a life is murder. Now on the books if you kill a pregnant woman you will be tried for the murder of two persons, but if you abort the child in a pregnant woman it is not considered a person. Which is it a living being or not? How much clearer can it be? So you think forcing the distributing of materials against moral and religious thinking while advocating murder should be mandatory. You think that forcing me against my constitutional rights Is acceptable even at the risk of everyone’s freedom?
WeLL BS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let`s do like the Liberals did AND do by pleading the 5th under the advice of our Lawyers if prosecuted for standing for our conscious RIGHT to say that we DO NOT AGREE to abortion as it stands. For the life of a mother or incest, that is a “given” personal decision ! This is why we will need Trump in Office folks ! I will fight to my dying breath that you will NOT come into my consciousness and take over ! FY !
The more we abort our American babies, the more room we will have for Illegals and Muslims, who do not abort theirs. The strategy fits the Far Left agenda. Kill Americans, bring in everybody else. Wake up America!
Point well taken NJ and you’re right about the Agenda thing! Clinton wants to increase the number of refugees coming into the US to 600% over present levels. So if she gets into the Oval Office we’re gonna hafta all go out and get our Prayer Rugs because some nasty changes will be coming to our shores. Our country, as we presently know it, will cease to exist!
You got that right & I bet it’s worse than you know! She is the Devil!
There’s a reason that in the parable of the wedding feast, Jesus said, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” How do these people assisting the murder of the most innocent, ever expect to see heaven? Trump 2016.
Amen! Yes Trump!!!
Name the liberal judges that past such laws and we can protest them at their
Location. Let them feel the heat.
Bunch of Idiots they are
Amen!
If it sounds too good to be true… Be sure its not what your expecting!! Scams all over the net.. Just be careful and good luck..
This is old corruption . Scams everywhere . Be careful out there People .. It is outrageous a Judge can order abortions. It is a Sin and also over stepping their boundaries.. The laws of the land do not say force a woman to abort a baby. In case this judge does not understand his own ruling.. You are going against thou shalt not kill ! You are ordering death to babies.. God Help Us All if this is what America is coming to.
I agree! God help us as we have entered the end days & America is falling! The Government wants God out & if God listens & turns because the people do not pray & ask Him to stay with America Clinton will turn this Country into a living Hell on earth! Vote Trump!
While I am for pro- life, I also believe IT is the GOD given freedom to choose and that is what I chose. I also believe each and every woman has the right of freedomt to choose for herself, right or wrong. God gave all of us, men and women, the freedom of choice not the government..
Sorry, Lee, but your CHOICE to not have a baby came before you engaged in sexual intercourse!
There are Miriads of ways to prevent pregnancy and Abortion is NOT one of them! You can
Stand with righteous indignation on your soapbox and gloat that YOU did what The Liberal
Left stands for. It IS your ” Right ” to Choose…but how can choosing an innocent tiny being
Who COULD be the greatest JOY of your being? If one is not fit to be a Mom for whatever
Reason, there are SO many women who could be a MOTHER to it. I am sorry for you that
Felt compelled to make the choice you have indicated. That would haunt me every day of
My life.
I DO thank the Creator that HE allowed me to be a Mom and a Grandmother!
I’m sorry for your loss.
It is way past time for Congress to start investigating justices that do not serve on good behavior. Congress has the authority to remove justices that fail to do so. It is the responsibility of Congress to pass legislation and not the courts.
Liberal courts? Honestly, there is nothing liberal about a liberal. Liberalism is an utterly reactionary philosophy. It denies the reality of Truth.
The leftist of the world are deliberately destroying the WEST out of their own STUPIDITY. Abortions and BCP have turned the birth rate (BR) in the Western world in NEGATIVE. The native population do not reproduce enough to maintain their numbers.
BR MUST be > 2.1 to maintain the population sizes.
In many western countries BR is btw 1.8 and 1!!!
IF HIL-LIAR-Y WINS THE ELECTION:
1. CHARGES WILL BE FILED AGAINST HER FOR THE EMAIL SCANDAL.
2. SHE WILL SPEND THE NEXT 4 YEARS, WHILE IN OFFICE, FIGHTING THIS. (just like Bill did.)
3. THIS WILL LEGITIMATELY “EXCUSE” HER FROM ANY PRESIDENTIAL DUTIES. (and she won’t, can’t deliver on her promises.)
4. AND AMERICAN’S LIVES & THIS COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE ITS DOWNWARD SPIRAL
Come on! Do you REALLY BELIEVE Hillary Clinton will Truly go to JAIL
for all she has done?
That will never happen! Look what she did to Bernie Sanders? Paid for via,bribes of” or
threatened him off!
Why was there a thorough investigation on Judge Antonin Scalia’s mysterious death! Not even
An autopsy performed!! And Mr. Rice as he walked to The Hill with information regarding some
Of the wheeling and dealings…People are scared spitless of her and Slick Willie…The known
Body count is 50 corpses, the positions in government assigned near the same, the billions
In corrupt activities and fund raising for Her campaign to overthrow the Freedom of the
American Nation as we knew it!
Don’t know if you are a religious soul, but if America doesn’t get on her knees and beg
For. ALL of us to seek His wisdom,to forgive for Pushing HIM away, shoot!start come
Begging for HIS forgiveness.,and search for the abilities the SERVE HIM AND THEN
DOIT,
I’m just curious. Is their an enumerated power or amendment to the Constitution permitting the government to to dictate promotion of abortion or is this a case of a state law used to promote abortion?
Dave both violating the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights.
The Declaration, no matter how noble it’s sentiments or accurate it’s assessment of the ills of King George, is not Law. The Constitution is the Supreme Law, according to Article 6.
Judges, more than anyone else, should have their feet routinely held to the fires of it, and removed from office just as routinely when they violate that Public Trust.
However, consider the following words, and evaluate their prescience:
“Your Constitution has been written as if only good men would take office. What will you do when evil men take office? When evil men take office, the whole gang will be in collusion! They will keep the people in utter ignorance and steal their liberty by ambuscade! Your laws on impeachment are a sham and a mockery due to mutual implication of government officials!”
Patrick Henry (American Lawyer, patriot, and orator, symbol of the American struggle for liberty, 1736-1799)
And indeed, Congresscretins don’t want to have their actions weighed against their oaths of office, either, and neither does the preznit, hence the bolded sentence above.
Now, he wrote that when the Constitution was first sent out for ratification, BEFORE the Bill of Rights was appended, especially with the Preamble to the BoR and the 9th and 10th which prohibited any gov’t actor from taking ONE STEP beyond the bounds set for them by the Constitution – but then, the War for State’s Rights and the 14th Amendment came, followed by the reorganization of the USG into a corporate entity DBA the government of the US in 1871, as well as the multiple subsequent bankruptcies, so the real rulers of the USG today are the “receivers in due course” of those bankruptcies, mostly represented by the owners of the Federal Reserve board, under the following ancient principle(from Solomon, the Proverbs): “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.”
Well, it seems simple to me. Put in what they want and below out show how they kill the babies and explain that they feel everything they do to them. Put directly next to the option, the news article that shows many babies survive and are killed during their survival by being dumped in garbage cans until they die to collect their beating heart. Yup..that will definitely work. Sore how they crush their child’s head with forceps and then, give them a medication that doesn’t work or how they penetrate their brain with a sharp instrument that is inserted into the back of their neck. I’m sure many will opt for it, lol. Not!
It’s time to EDUCATE the public, right? So, let’s educate them with the truth!
The pro-lifers are so emotive that they ignore science. When education is give it does take hold with a lot of people. Schools would rather promote propaganda by PP than let pro-life groups show or tell the truth. PP violates what most pro-choicers say they are for, safe abortion. They fight laws that require them to have the same standers as a medical facility. many women have died because they had an abortion through PP. They have became the back ally that Roe verses wade was trying to prevent.
Use science and taxation without representation it throws a monkey wrench in the prochoice argument. A couple trying to get pregnant pay at least $10,000 per treatment. A couple trying to adopt a baby pays more than a brand new car is being sold for in to get put into a lottery to adopt a baby. All because of abortion.
AMEN!
Joe, you should be aware that a unique individual human begins life at conception. The trillions of commands (DNA) that create every organ or function of the human body and mind are present at conception. Also, it is reasonable to believe that the moral component (conscience) of a human is imparted at conception as a direct act of God. Christian and Jewish Biblical scholars who know that Scripture is God-breathed (contains true prophecy) point to many prophetic passages of Scripture which clearly teach these truths.
California seems to be good at creating bad legislation. I wonder if abortion clinics are required to place a similar posting in their slaughterhouses telling women they have another option.
The abortion industry has hid behind the pro-choice label. The truth is the abortion industry doesn’t want to offer any choice other than abortion.
The answer is no.
In my research I haven’t been able to find the state or federal law specific to abortion. I’ve only found the Roe V Wade decision. I think it’s bad enough that abortions are legal but having the federal government, by way of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
now dictating to clinics, which assist women with abortion, to post a sign, the size of the letters, the size of the sign, where the signs have to be placed, And Its Content. Frankly I think this one of the worries of overreach by the federal government that the founders were worried.
Let all the clinics post the notices. However, print them in Chinese or some other language. The law only stipulates that there has to be a message, it does not state what language it has to be in.
Here is another great reason to vote for Darrell Castle of the Constitution party. He is for the declaration of independence and the Constitution as the founders intended and the Bill of rights.
Tell Constitution violators knock off the garbage!
Hey, this is the great state of California (at least they think so) and Jerry and his cronies can do anything they want because they have the ninth circus court to back them up. The state of California will protect criminals (sanctuary cities) but condone the killing of babies. Now they are forcing Pro-life organizations to push abortion. Some of these legislators are probably lucky abortion was not available to their mothers when they were conceived or they may not have been here to pass this unconstitutional law.
THIS 9TH COURT NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED AS THEY ARE TOTALLY AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AMD JUDICATE ON THERE OWN IDEAS! NOTHING BUT MOLDY CHICKEN ASS’S OF NO ACCOUNTABILITY!
This is just one step away from requiring all pregnant women already with two or more children be required to abort their existing one and sterilized them.
I wonder if this law will apply to a muslim doctor or to just white-christian doctors??
People,People People!!!!!! Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Anyone,and there are thousands of people who are aware that the Ninth Court is the absolute worst,bar none,court in these United States. The decisions they make and attempt to mandate as law have more times then can be counted been overturned and/or dismissed, The most corrupt,your best bet is to totaly y ignore these clowns that call themselves judgest of all the courts
