State should increase ERreproductive care
California has lengthy been a frontrunner in defending reproductive rights. However proper now, there’s an enormous hole in care that many individuals don’t notice: emergency rooms aren’t all the time ready to supply full reproductive well being companies. That’s why I’m urging our native lawmakers to help Meeting Invoice 551.
AB 551 would create a program to assist emergency departments throughout the state present higher look after issues like abortion, miscarriage remedy and contraception. These are fundamental well being companies, however too typically persons are left with out choices, particularly in pressing or sudden conditions.
It’s time to ensure everybody in California can get the reproductive well being care they want, when and the place they want it most.

I fly the American flag on each nationwide vacation … besides this Flag Day. It damage me to not honor the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Military. As one of many “suckers” who served, I couldn’t honor a draft dodger.
However there may be hope that People and the worldwide neighborhood are getting smart to his manipulations. I’ve confidence within the American folks.

Padilla, not Noem,represents our state
Earlier than her goons grabbed California’s senior senator, Alex Padilla, dragged him out of the room, threw him to the bottom and handcuffed him, U.S. Homeland Safety Secretary Kristi Noem mentioned: “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”
A lot for the freely elected representatives of the folks of California, together with Sen. Padilla.
So, what occurs after the Trump regime has resolved its faux emergency? Will it flip the federal government again to these “socialists,” or will it attempt to set up sycophants like Noem to manipulate us with out our consent?

Most People wantto co-exist peacefully
On “No Kings Day,” I used to be certainly one of a number of volunteers on the Pleasanton Farmer’s Market handing out flyers with details about the Girls’s Federal Jail in Dublin being privatized and used as an ICE detention heart.
I’m very appreciative and need to thank all who took a flyer, stopped to talk or politely walked by. I’m particularly grateful to those that thanked us for doing this service, and to those that expressed concern about our security. I additionally need to thank the girl who properly talked about that she doesn’t share our views as she walked by. The one opposition we had have been passing automobiles: One driver gave us the finger and one other shouted an obscenity as she, too, gave us the finger.
It grew to become very clear to me that almost all of People need equity and decency to resolve variations; let’s assist make it occur.

Column misses damagedone to Israel’s soul
Re: “Israeli government endangers Jews everywhere” (Web page A9, Jun 15).
Thanks for printing Thomas Friedman’s op-eds; they’re all the time insightful, as is that this one in regards to the risks to Jews around the globe of the immoral actions of Israel in each Gaza and the West Financial institution.
Nonetheless, I’m afraid that he’s improper about one factor: It’s already too late to keep away from the horrible harm to Israel’s soul and the stain on its repute. It’s going to take generations to restore if, certainly, that’s even potential.
The identical is true of the harm to the U.S. for its complicity in Israel’s conflict on the Palestinians’ proper to exist.
