California Attorney General Rob Bonta is continuing to seek punishments for states preventing doctors from permanently disfiguring children at the same time that his wife tried to help the state legislature block stricter punishments for child sex traffickers.
Bonta announced on Friday that Missouri, Nebraska, and Wyoming were being added to California’s “travel ban,” which bans state-funded travel to states that California deems to have anti-LGBT legislation. The travel ban is largely useless, with university sports teams and California politicians circumventing the ban. It is also counterproductive, with the “boycott” harming California officials who want to travel for conferences more so than the states that are hosting them.

At the same time, the state legislature had to jump through hoops to try and pass a bill to make child sex trafficking a “serious felony” with more serious punishments attached. That was because six Assembly Democrats initially blocked the bill in committee, hoping to sink it this year. After backlash and intervention from Gov. Gavin Newsom , the bill passed with two Democrats still refusing to vote for it. One of those two was Bonta’s wife, Mia Bonta.
For California’s top law enforcement official, there is more certainty in his support for child sex changes than there is in his support for the new harsher sentences on child sex traffickers. That is not a glowing endorsement of Bonta or California’s other Democratic leaders who focus more of their fire on Republicans in other states than criminals in their own.
