Opinion: Assembly Bill 315 is an overly broad attack on pro-life pregnancy centers
As Albert Einstein once said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”
This prompts the question: Are California lawmakers insane for repeatedly proposing regulations against, and failing to protect, pro-life pregnancy centers? If we look at Einstein’s definition, the clear answer is yes.would enable limitless fines against community-based pregnancy centers for supposed violations. This vague and overly broad bill, like its predecessors, suffers from serious constitutional problems. Between 2007-2020, similar bills have been considered and rejected in nine states .
The Court’s decision was expected. In fact, in all but one instance where an anti-pregnancy center regulation has been enacted, courts havefound the regulation to be unconstitutional, and issued significant fines in favor of pregnancy centers. These rulings are resulting in states and localities paying pro-life pregnancy centers millions of dollars in damages and attorneys’ fees, including Montgomery County, Maryland , the city of Baltimore , and Austin, Texas .
Whether insane or not, California lawmakers have no justification for repeatedly attempting to regulate pregnancy centers. According to the most recent data, California pregnancy centers helped over 93,000 people in need with services and materials valued at over $14.2 million in 2019.
