Not really:
"Today, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks' A.B. 2223, which came to be known as the 'infanticide bill,' was amended in the Assembly Appropriations Committee to confirm that a woman will not be investigated or charged for experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, or 'perinatal death due to causes that occurred in utero,'" the California Catholic Conference reported in a statement released last week.
"This change definitely closes the door on potential unintended consequences of permitting infant deaths due to abuse, neglect or abandonment, alleviating the concerns that the CCC brought to the author's attention," the statement said.
Kathleen Domingo, the executive director of the California Catholic Conference told the Register that the Assembly Judiciary Committee's analysis of the bill, dated April 5, "agreed that the terminology 'perinatal death' was unclear and could lead to 'undesirable conclusions.'"
The language was modified, and the California Catholic Conference announced it had withdrawn its opposition to the bill, noting state law already outlaws fetal homicide with protections for infants born alive after an abortion."
So now based on the new language if a woman neglects, abuses, or kills her baby after birth, she's still on the hook legally. The title is a little click baity in ignoring that.
Here is another article about the bill, dating from before the revisions. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that women who abuse their bodies while pregnant, then the baby dies of issues stemming from the self-abuse, cannot be criminally prosecuted. The primary focus is on women who give birth to drug addicted babies and the baby dies of withdraw: https://californiaglobe.com/articles/infanticide-or-pregnancy-loss-abortion-bill-passes-assembly-judiciary-committee/
Here are some quotes from the article:
They intend to not only codify the killing of unborn children throughout all nine months of pregnancy but to decriminalize killing newborns days or even weeks after birth.
New language added to AB 2223 last week revealed the disturbing intent. The proposed legislation would shield a mother from civil and criminal charges for any “actions or omissions” related to her pregnancy, “including miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion, or perinatal death.” Although definitions of “perinatal death” vary, all of them include the demise of newborns seven days or more after birth...peri-natal death is considered up to one month upon delivery. >
This is the part of the bill that was revised:
So at least there isn't carte blanche freedom to murder any baby 30 days or younger with no fear of investigation, but still... do we really want to encourage drug addicted pregnant women to continue to use drugs?
No I don't think we do. It's another question altogether though, isn't it? How far do we want to go to ensure that women live in a healthy manner while pregnant? Do we want to become a nanny state that monitors them constantly, forces them to take vitamins, to exercise, to eat properly, etc.? I don't know I want to create that kind of nanny state--then those women might actually have a reason to wear those stupid Handmaids robes after all. I think restricting doctors from performing the procedure should probably be as far as we go on this, personally.
