Christian Leaders Speak Out as Gov. Newsom Signs a Dozen Abortion Bills

Governor Gavin Newsom signed a dozen abortion bills last week in his quest to make California the nation's destination spot for women wanting an abortion. The signing comes on the heels of a nationwide advertising campaign Newsom launched the week before using billboards in seven states to promote a taxpayer-funded website promoting California abortions. One particular billboard even used Jesus's words commanding us to love our neighbor (Mark 12:31) to imply offering women abortions is an act of love. 

That was too much for John MacArthur, the senior pastor of Grace Community Church, a non-denominational church in Sun Valley, California with 8,000 in weekly attendance. He published an open letter to Governor Newsom last week condemning him for using billboards to "promot[e] the slaughter of children" and for a "reprehensible act of gross blasphemy" for twisting the words of Jesus and "arrogat[ing] His name in favor of butchering unborn infants." 

Pastor MacArthur concluded his letter calling Newsom to repentance for promoting wickedness and for "flout[ing]" God's authority. He concluded by quoting (Isaiah 55:6–7):

"Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."

The California Family Council (CFC) President Jonathan Keller also condemned Newsom for signing bills to make California a sanctuary state for abortions.

Gov. Newsom Signs Bill to Strip Children from Parents to Medically Transgender Them

Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill last week empowering state courts to remove out-of-state children from their parent’s custody if those children come to California because they can’t get sterilizing transgender drugs and mutilating surgeries in their home states or because their parents object to these experimental treatments for gender dysphoria.

Bill author Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) is characterizing SB 107 as a bill to make California a safe haven for parents who want to transition their children medically, but are forbidden to by their home states. Yet Newsom, Wiener, and the mainstream media are ignoring the section of the bill that enables children to be kidnapped and enticed to the state against their parents’ wishes and against the court custody determinations and laws of other states.

CA Teachers Association to ‘Break the Binary’ in upcoming LGBTQ+ Conference

For the past 14 years, the California Teachers Association (CTA) has held an annual LGBTQ+ conference to train public school teachers how to affirm LGBTQ+ identities in their students and transform the way children of all ages view gender and sexual orientation. By all accounts, training like this and their implementation are having a profound effect on the culture. 

According to Gallup, the number of Generation Z people, born between 1997 and 2012, who identify as LGBTQ+ has doubled from 10.5 percent in 2017 to 20.8 percent in 2021. 

Any parent with children in public school should understand this trend and know what is being taught to teachers at these conferences in order to protect their children.

This year’s CTA “2022 LGBTQ+ Issues Conference” will be held at the Margaritaville in Resort Palm Springs, CA October 28-30. The conference is open to all CTA members, and promises to address LGBTQ+ issues involving educators, students, and the community under the theme “Connected by LOVE: The Threads of Our Community”. According to the promotional website, “Sessions will focus on diversity, inclusion & belonging and LOVE!”
