California likes to sell itself as a “sanctuary state” for more and more issues. Each one is as destructive as the last.
The Golden State is looking to protect doctors, insurance companies, and contractors from subpoenas from other states regarding child custody and other court actions related to children receiving “gender-affirming care,” the euphemism liberals have given to surgeries, puberty blockers, and hormone treatments for children, the irreversible chemical and physical alterations that are incredibly damaging and that many children grow to regret.
California hopes to provide this “refuge,” as Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener calls it, to families who wish to push their children into physical and chemical gender transitions. It does not matter that children can’t consent to these permanent, life-altering changes. The Democratic Party’s culture war comes first and foremost in the state, and its “sanctuary” status isn’t limited to gender transitions for children.
As the Supreme Court was reconsidering its abortion jurisprudence, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) vowed that “we’ll be a sanctuary” and that the state was “looking at ways to expand our protections.” Now, the state is moving toward enshrining the right to kill unborn children in the state constitution. California wants to be the face of abortion tourism, inviting pregnant women from red states across the country to have their unborn children killed in California clinics.
The original sanctuary status of California has been no less damaging. California became a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants in 2018, the first state to have done so. The status has had lethal consequences in the state, preventing known criminals from being deported and allowing them to go on to commit more violent crimes. But the state’s sanctuary status also encourages people to cross the border illegally, putting themselves in danger and subjecting them to the whims of human traffickers. Most recently, 51 illegal immigrants were found dead in the back of an abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio.
California wants to be a sanctuary for the most extreme liberal culture war issues, no matter how damaging or destructive those stances are. California Democrats are patting themselves on the back for their compassion and empathy as they cheerlead for abortion and ignore the lethal consequences of their immigration policies. Now, you can be ready to add the irreversible effects of gender transitions for children to the list.
