Legislation that would require UC and CalState campus health centers to prescribe the abortion pill is now before Gov. Gavin Newsom. Please write or call and urge Gov. Newsom to veto this legislation. California Catholic Conference executive director Andrew Rivas has issued a statement, saying "We urge him to veto this unprecedented and unnecessary legislation because it purposely narrows a young woman's choices and puts the state's prestigious academic institutions in a position of actually promoting, facilitating and potentially funding only abortions."

Safe injection sites are a flawed although well intentioned response to opioid drug overdose deaths. Creation of a safe injection site establishes public societal acceptance of illegal intravenous drug use to the detriment of the drug users, who are not only procuring their drugs illegally, but using them in a public space. Public acceptance of IV drug use is also harmful to the overall society, and particularly to young people who are finding their way in what is an often confusing society that already presents mixed messages about drug and alcohol abuse. The Archdiocese of San Francisco opposes establishment of safe injection clinics in San Francisco and opposes legislation that would allow them in California.
