Additional restrictions on abortion are meant to block women seeking &#8220;safe, legal abortions,&#8221; the memo said.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The alert was sent on behalf of over 110 Planned Parenthood locations in the state, and threatened lawmakers that any vote for pro-life legislation would be\u00a0included on the PPAC Legislative Scorecard.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the California Assembly Health Committee rejected a measure that would have eliminated the practice of &#8220;gender-cide&#8221; in the state. AB 2336, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield, was voted down 13-6 on party lines. Although the number of pro-life citizen advocates outnumbered pro-choice proponents, Democrat committee members said eliminating the practice of sex-selective abortions would impose \u201ctoo much of a burden to abortion access.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite how blue a state California has become in recent years, this vote was jaw-dropping to me and other pro-life advocates in California,&#8221; said Johnathan Keller of the California Family Council. &#8220;Our efforts to stop the push towards abortion-at-all-costs have been thwarted by the consistent mantra of needing to protect women.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Planned Parenthood affiliates launched an alert to members of the state legislature, urging lawmakers to kill all pro-life measures, including amendments that would ban sex-selective abortions.
