In 2 Blue States, Big Government on Cusp of Becoming Big Parent
24th April 2023
Once upon a time, it was a tragedy to become an orphan.
Now, at least in two deep blue states, it’s in.
In Washington state, both the House and Senate have passed a bill that would allow the state Department of Children, Youth and Families, not the parents, to be the contacts if a child who runs away is trying to get an abortion or transgender medical procedures. The bill is currently on Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee’s desk.
In California, a bill that would let 12-year-olds leave home if a mental health professional OKs it, no parental permission required, has passed in the state Assembly and is now winding its way through the state Senate.
Is this the future?
Shades of the old Communist regimes of Eastern Europe.
