Governor Gavin Newsom used his veto pen over the weekend to ax legislation aimed at protecting providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state.

Assembly Bill 2164 authored by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan (D-Orinda) would have prohibited California’s governor from recognizing a request for extradition of a person related to their providing a legally protected healthcare activity in the Golden State to transgender individuals, or if they provide reproductive services. It provided certain exemptions, such as an extradition required by federal law.

      So you don’t know then. I bet you have a strong opinion on it though!

        No I just don’t like feeding sea lions. It’s generally impolite to ask people information that you could trivially find yourself. It’s disrespectful of other people’s time. That’s why when someone asks such lazy questions, I first ask them to demonstrate they’ve put in an iota of effort. Why should others answer you if you’re not willing to put in any work yourself You didn’t ask for people’s opinion on the bill, you asked for a trivially searchable factual information. It’s generally pretty rude to ask others to do your basic factual research for you.

          Disrespectful. Rude. Sea lion.

          Any other moral condemnation you’d like to get out of your system or do you have any idea what this bill is about? You, personally?
