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.

    I understand your frustration, but if you stick to this, you will be abstaining entirely from the electoral process.

    Once again, there are only three choices:

    1. Party that can win.

    2. Other party that can win.

    3. Shooting yourself in the dick.

    You seem to be a #3 voter. Is feeling good about shooting yourself in the dick really better than effecting real change? Nah.
