Outgoing California Governor Davis Signs Spate of Anti-Life Anti-family Bills
LOS ANGELES, October 8, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Outgoing California Governor Gray Davis, whose predictable loss to Republican actor-turned politician Arnold Schwarzenegger was confirmed today, took a last shot at political opponents by signing a flood of anti-life and anti-family legislative initiatives into law in recent days.
Davis signed a radical new law that allows public schools to ask students any sex questions imaginable, without the parental permission required by the current law. SB 71, signed Wednesday by Davis, also authorizes "comprehensive" sex education for elementary school students including kindergarteners. Where the current law requires schools to obtain written parental permission before sex questions can be asked of schoolchildren, SB 71 allows sex surveys without written consent
Last week he signed a bill to allow pharmacists to dispense the abortifacient morning-after pill.
