California close to criminalising undercover filming at abortion clinics

*Californian lawmakers have passed a Planned Parenthood-backed bill
criminalising undercover filming at abortion clinics. *

The bill – titled “AB 1671” – was passed in the state assembly last week
with a 52-26 majority vote. The senate went on to approve the bill with a
party line vote of 26-13.

*The new bill prohibits* *the recording and distribution of confidential
communication with healthcare providers *in the state. *Violation **of* *the
new law can lead to a one-year prison sentence and a $2,500 fine. Repeat
offenders can face a $10,000 fine*.

*The bill was proposed *by assembly member Jimmy Gomez *following the
release of investigative footage by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP)
uncovering* *Planned Parenthood’s sale of** foetal* *tissue to
biotechnology companies.*

The footage had been filmed in Texas in 2015 by CMP founder David Daleiden
and member Sandra Merritt. The pair were indicted in January this year but
later had the case filed against them dismissed in court.

Kathy Kneer – CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California – praised
the bill, saying: “If we’re going to protect the right to abortion, we must
protect the privacy and safety of medical providers.”

Pro-life groups criticise the new law. David Daleiden told LifeSiteNews
<https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/california-senate-passes-bill-to-silence-daleiden-pro-life-investigative-jo>:
“Planned Parenthood still can’t own up to the fact that their senior
leadership was caught on camera talking about which places on a late-term
baby to crush or not crush in order to harvest the most valuable body parts
for sale.”

Pro-life advocates have urged California Governor Jerry Brown to veto the
legislation, which he must decide on by the end of September.
