Wow, I love news stories like this one.
The lawsuit was in reference to a law, passed in 2021, which disallowed protests within 100 feet of vaccination sites. The reason a pro-life organization, Right to Life of Central California, is involved is because Planned Parenthood is a "vaccination site" due to the fact that they offer the HPV vaccine.
Let's look at the details.
In an order released this week, Right to Life of Central California and the office of California Attorney General Rob Bonta agreed to a settlement in which the state would not enforce Senate Bill 742 against the pro-life group or any other speaker. Additionally, the state agreed to pay the plaintiff "$192,706 in reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses."
The Right to Life filed suit against California after the state passed SB 742 in October 2021, which restricted protests outside of vaccination sites, including a local Planned Parenthood clinic that provided vaccines for human papillomavirus.
The Right to Life chapter argues that its primary means of outreach is through its outreach center, located next to Planned Parenthood Mar Monte's main Fresno abortion clinic.
Man, I bet Planned Parenthood loved Senate Bill 742 while it lasted. It essentially gave them the right to hand pro-life protesters over to the authorities anytime they set foot near one of their "clinics." Too bad, though, it's all but dead now.
Here's why the dopes out in California passed this bill back during Covid.
"Protestors at vaccination sites continue to impede and delay Californians' ability to access vaccination sites," argued SB 742. "Given the distance across which airborne infectious diseases spread, a 30-foot buffer zone is necessary to protect the health of Californians trying to access vaccination sites."
Breaking the buffer zone law was "punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment."
Sen. Richard Pan of Sacramento, a Democrat, sponsored the legislation. He argued that..."Health care workers administering vaccines and saving lives need local officials to have SB 742 to keep them and their patients safe from extremists who obstruct and threaten people with violence and loss of privacy for participating in Covid-19 vaccination clinics[.]"...
Shortly after the bill passed, the Right to Life chapter filed suit. U.S. District Judge Dale Drozd, an Obama appointee, granted in part a temporary restraining order against enforcing the law.
So not only were they protecting Planned Parenthood by proxy, but they were protecting every site where the clot shot was being delivered into people's arms — and we all know what's going on with those.
So mark this one down as a "W" for freedom of speech, and for unborn babies, and for unvaccinated Californians.
Free speech is still kickin', folks!
