California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law on Wednesday that aims to stop other states from prosecuting doctors and pharmacists who mail abortion pills to patients in places where the procedure is banned. California already has a law protecting doctors who provide abortions from out-of-state judgments.

The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is "engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion."

"Denying the legitimate interest of other states to protect unborn children and public health is a dangerous precedent," the association wrote in a letter to lawmakers earlier this year.

The absolute fucking gall of christians, holy shit...

They're acting like California is going to personally mail these to every texans door.

...ideological colonization...

Wow, that's rich, coming from an institution that historically shipped zealots around the world to proselytize.

And not to mention killing soulless savages (indigenous peoples) under the blessing of god.

I was born into Christianity and took religious classes in school. They never talked about the weapon blessings. I learned about it on the campaign of anno 1404. I looked it up and was shocked. Conveniently avoided that huh?

since when did these religious nutjobs want to "protect" anyone? Guns, and car accidents are major killers of kids, when I see some action there from these liars I'll believe they're just honest dumb people who think zygotes are people. Until then these crocodile christians can shove it.

I can never fully decide whether I think they're proud of their hypocrisy and cruelty, or whether they're just too stupid to see it. They're such shitty people that both are distinct possibilities.

And anyway, wtf is "ideological colonization"? The language these far right crazies keep coming up with keeps getting more and more like that fake legalese that sovereign citizens use to try to sound smart.

Lol, if the citizens really didn't want it, then they wouldn't be ordering the pills now would they?
