The Right to Life League is calling on the California Catholic Conference of Bishops (CCC) to oppose several pro-abortion bills currently pending in the state \u2014\u00a0most notably AB 2223, the bill that experts contend may\u00a0allow infanticide<\/a>. AB 2223 is\u00a0backed by\u00a0Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice California, and numerous other pro-abortion organizations in California.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, the pro-life group noted that the CCC initially opposed AB 2223, but regrettably changed its stance to “neutral” after the bill’s author\u00a0redefined \u201cperinatal death\u201d \u2014 the death of a baby born alive \u2014 to mean \u201ccauses that occurred in utero.\u201d Right to Life League President Theresa Brennan, Esq., says the change is merely a play on words and doesn’t eliminate the possibility that the bill could legalize infanticide.<\/p>\n

\u201cAB 2223 cannot be fixed by wordsmithing. This bill removes ALL regulation over abortion, and\u00a0allows babies born alive to be thrown into trash cans and left to die as long as anyone involved in the death says the \u2018cause\u2019 of death happened \u2018in utero.\u2019\u00a0 It is time for every pro-life Californian to ask the Catholic Bishops WHY they will not stand against the culture of death in our state, and boldly fight this bill,” wrote Brennan.<\/p>\n
