The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is "engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion."
"Denying the legitimate interest of other states to protect unborn children and public health is a dangerous precedent," the association wrote in a letter to lawmakers earlier this year.
The absolute fucking gall of christians, holy shit...
They're acting like California is going to personally mail these to every texans door.
We can only hope...
May improve Texas
...ideological colonization...
Wow, that's rich, coming from an institution that historically shipped zealots around the world to proselytize.
And not to mention killing soulless savages (indigenous peoples) under the blessing of god.
I was born into Christianity and took religious classes in school. They never talked about the weapon blessings. I learned about it on the campaign of anno 1404. I looked it up and was shocked. Conveniently avoided that huh?
since when did these religious nutjobs want to "protect" anyone? Guns, and car accidents are major killers of kids, when I see some action there from these liars I'll believe they're just honest dumb people who think zygotes are people. Until then these crocodile christians can shove it.
I can never fully decide whether I think they're proud of their hypocrisy and cruelty, or whether they're just too stupid to see it. They're such shitty people that both are distinct possibilities.
And anyway, wtf is "ideological colonization"? The language these far right crazies keep coming up with keeps getting more and more like that fake legalese that sovereign citizens use to try to sound smart.
"The California Catholic Conference opposed the law, arguing the state is "engaging in ideological colonization against states and citizens that do not want abortion.""
- Oh fuck right off. What's that? You don't like it when someone has an ideology forced on them?

Are ... are they trying to say CA doctors are mailing abortion pills to people who didn't ask for them? What does this statement mean? Maybe what they meant was something like: "We do not believe women have a basic right to control their body, whether those women are Catholic or not, and that control should rest with the government of the state they reside in."
No. They are saying that CA doctors are mailing abortion pills to states where abortion/abortion pills have been outlawed. In other words the citizens of TX voted against abortion on a large scale, and CA is performing 'ideological colonization' by mailing to anyone in TX who does want them, since the majority do not.
Quite a thing for the Catholic church to bring up ideological colonization though... 🗿
But .. they don't mail the pills randomly. A person in the state where it is outlawed is requesting something from a state where it is not.
I don't see how the CA doctors are in any way colonizing anything.

They're not. At least not in the majority rational view. That's just some old mad folks in the Catholic church thinking so and feeling the need to say something.
There's actually a LOT of interesting info on the article..For example they ban Facebook from giving info to law enforcement from other states about Cali related abortion pill mail/doctors even if it's a legitimate judge signed subpoena. I believe that covers investigations including conversations between two individuals about getting an abortion. California is really saying "Get fucked Texas and similar states. We The People say so."
risk getting pulled over for driving pregnant
Is that not allowed?
Not without your husband's permission it's not. This is Texas we're talking about here.
I'm sorry, what? A pregnant woman can't leave the state without husband's permission? Also, what happens if she's a single mum, or she's not married? Or a widow or husband is deployed... I mean... what?
Other commenter was being sarcastic. But it's the road they appear to be heading.
At the moment if a pregnant woman leaves the state they may suspect it's for abortion purposes. Neighbours can even report if they think someone may have aborted.
In The Handmaid's Tale, right before Gilead takes over the US, women have to have their husbands sign off on their birth control refills. Then they all get fired from their jobs and all their money in the bank gets transferred to their husbands.
I know it's a tired cliche to keep bringing up the Handmaid's Tale, but it just doesn't seem that far out there anymore. Especially the part where everyone just goes along with the changes and learns to live with them. Margaret Atwood based everything in the book off of real events in wold history. So there's that.
Nothing says "freedom and democracy" like being reported by your fucking neighbors for refusing to be "one of us".
I can't take an article where catholics are accusing others of ideological colonization seriously. I hate cringy atheists as much as the next guy but these morons genuinely need to fuck off already. Thank god I don't live in NA anymore, seems it's all just going downhill.
edgelord atheists make a lot more sense when you consider them as an immune system overreaction to something terrible that refuses to go away.
like how many norwegian edgelord atheists have you seen? weirdly they all seem to come from turboreligious places..
The "religious" version of the edgy atheist is the satanic temple, who since the overturning of Roe has made abortion one of their sacred sacraments. They're good at muddying up the laws regarding religious freedoms that some states only want to offer to christians.
As far as I can tell, they don't really believe in Satan and are open about that. It seems that they just use the idea of Satan to point out the hypocrisy in Christian politics when they say they're for religious freedoms.
