Friday, California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1671 into law. The bill received vocal opposition from both the press and civil rights organizations because it criminalizes free speech rights and silences whistleblowers–all reportedly in an effort to protect Planned Parenthood. The abortion chain has freely admitted it had input in the bill’s creation. And this week emails revealed that California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, had reportedly worked with Planned Parenthood in the bill’s creation.

As Live Action News reported<\/a> earlier in the week<\/a>, the bill will\u00a0“make it a crime to record and\/or distribute conversations with health care providers” and was “drafted in response to David Daleiden\u2019s undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood,” thanks to ” Planned Parenthood feeding [California AG Kamala] Harris\u2019s office suggestions.” Emails<\/a> which were uncovered, according to The Washington Times<\/a>, “depict conversations between the state agency and Planned Parenthood<\/a> over AB 1671, which would amend the penal code to make secretly recording and disseminating communications with health care providers a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

While issues related to pro-life matters are often politically polarized, AB 1671 was opposed by Democrats and Republicans alike.<\/p>\n
