Gov. Gavin Newsom‘s (D-Calif.) administration is preparing to face a significant legal effort to overturn the state's controversial law declaring California a “sanctuary state” for minors seeking transgender medical procedures.
On Tuesday, parental rights nonprofit, Our Watch plans to file a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court against California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
The filing, to be submitted by Advocates for Faith and Freedom, calls for a jury trial regarding Senate Bill 107. It also seeks injunctive relief, a judicial declaration that the law is unconstitutional, as well as the recovery of attorney fees.
Gov. Newsom signed SB 107, which was created by progressive state Sen. Scott Wiener, into law in September. (RELATED: California Becomes First ‘Sanctuary State' for Gender-Confused Children)
“Parents know what's best for their kids, and they should be able to make decisions around the health of their children without fear,” Newsom said at the time. “We must take a stand for parental choice. That is precisely why I am signing Senate Bill l07.”
“California recently passed Senate Bill (‘SB') 107, which violates the right of every parent in every state to direct the upbringing and care of their child,” according to a copy of the filing obtained by Fox News Digital. “SB 107 allows minors to obtain gender transition procedures like harmful puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries without parental consent, while denying parents access to their child's medical information. The bill also allows California to exercise ‘emergency jurisdiction' over minors seeking gender dysphoria treatment.”
The lawsuit contends that “SB 107 interferes with the parents right to control the important medical decisions of their children. Parents, not the government, are best suited to decide whether their child should undergo a life-altering and irreversible surgery that seeks to change the sex of the child.”
Our Watch argued the law violates the U.S. Constitution protections under the First and 14th Amendments because it “allows the ‘taking of the child' away from his or her parents to California to obtain gender transition procedures.”
“SB 107 overrides the jurisdiction of courts in a family's home state that are usually the proper forum for custody determinations by allowing California courts to take emergency jurisdiction to make custody determinations over a child struggling with gender dysphoria,” the lawsuit says. “California has decided that its courts – not those of the family's home state – should be the final arbiters of whether parents are fit to raise their child.”
The California law intent on targeting vulnerable minors has gotten considerable criticism from de-transition activists and experts like Chloe Cole and Oli London.
London condemned the law on Twitter, accusing state Sen. Wiener of advocating against registering pedophiles on the National Sex Offenders List.
London, a biological male is an internet personality who gained notoriety after announcing his decision to de-transition.
“As someone who has been harmed by these policies, it is imperative that we challenge SB 107 because it will allow vulnerable children from other states to undergo life-altering and harmful surgeries and drugs,” Cole said in a statement.
