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 judgements. But that law was designed to protect doctors who treat patients from other states who travel to California.

The new law goes further by forbidding authorities from cooperating with out-of-state investigations into doctors who mail abortion pills to patients in other states. It also bans bounty hunters or bail agents from apprehending doctors, pharmacists and patients in California and transporting them to another state to stand trial for providing an abortion.

Other states, including New York and Massachusetts, have similar laws. But California’s law also bars state-based social media companies — like Facebook — from complying with out-of-state subpoenas, warrants or other requests for records to discover the identity of patients seeking abortion pills.

"Gavin is a Republican! Corporate bro!"

But he's our corporate shill.. still progressive AF for the big leagues. That's the game. He's better at it than most Dems on the national stage.

There's a lot of relativity in the left-right stuff.

Like California right is almost always more left leaning than the US federal left. Similar with Canadian right is more left than US left. But of course, california right is gonna be more right than california left, and canada right is gonna be more right than canada left.

You cannot honestly tell me that Canadian right is equal or relative to the US left, that’s just ignorant

[–] Grumpy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Canadian right is not equal to the US left. I never said that, no idea where you'd draw such conclusion. Everything is relative, I don't see your point.

Are you trying to say that Canadian right is far more right (authoritarian and/or economic right) than the US left at the federal level? If so... then let's see...

  • Canadian right (CR) is for single payer public health care. US left (UL) is not, the "Obamacare" is significantly more right. So CR is more economic left.
  • CR is less militarized than UL. So CR is more libertarian.
  • CR is more pro-immigration than UL. All spectrum of the current Canadian government is supporting the current immigration influx, despite all its controversy. So, again CR is more libertarian.
  • CR's budget always had higher allocation to retirement, unemployment, maternity/paternity leave, etc. than UL. More left again.

So forth...

Sure, you'll might find some points where CR is seemingly more ideologically more authoritarian right than UL. But show me a single major government budget where CR has ever been more economically right than UL. Prove me wrong.
