City of Tacoma announcement.
TACOMA, Wash. – On November 22, the City Council passed Ordinance 28858 adopting Chapter 9A.50 RCW into the Tacoma Municipal Code, authorizing the City Attorney to prosecute any person who willfully or recklessly interferes with access to or from a health care facility, or willfully or recklessly disrupts the normal functioning of such a facility, as a gross misdemeanor in the Tacoma Municipal Court. This ordinance will help protect an individual’s right to seek abortions or gender affirming healthcare. The Council also passed Ordinance 28859 amending the Tacoma Municipal Code to include protections against discrimination based on an individual’s actual, potential, perceived, or alleged pregnancy outcomes related to seeking City employment, housing, public accommodations, banking, insurance and wherever other class statuses are protected.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court had issued a decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (No. 19-1392) overruling the constitutional right to an abortion established by Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833, repudiating a constitutional right to privacy. Council Member Olgy Diaz brought forward Ordinances 28858 and 28859 because she believes these rulings threaten civil and human rights at a fundamental level.
“In an effort to uphold Tacoma’s status as a welcoming and inclusive city, the Tacoma City Council believes discrimination in all its forms should be prevented. This is particularly important at a time when the ability to self-determine pregnancy outcomes, as well as access to services, have been left up to state and local jurisdictions by our federal government,” said Council Member Diaz. “Furthermore, members of our trans community and their families remain under continued threat and attack nationwide. It is my hope that adding municipal level protections for those seeking abortions or gender affirming healthcare in Tacoma will help provide additional peace of mind and enhance public safety.”
The ordinances take effect on December 9, 2022.
Abortion, reproductive health care and gender affirming health care all are a violation of the word of God. Your judgment day is comming.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN INSIDE A PP FACILITY AND OBSERVED THE GREAT CARE GIVEN… PROBABLY NOT,YOU HAVEN’T ANY IDEA WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
If God is real and judgmental as you believe, then there will be a judgement day by God, not by you and not by me.
I’m going to waste so much tax payers money as a man getting ultra sounds through Apple healthcare.
Don’t get mad.
Pay no attention to the tents, crime and murder. Please proceed to your nearest “health care” professional.
WHAT, THAT’S ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS
Thanks 🌺, that’s a great move.
I guess Tacoma is a welcoming city unless you’re an unborn baby…
As disfunction breeds disfunction,
taComa will continue to collapse into its rotten core.
Then it will lay in ruin until true virtue finds a reason to build it back up into something worthy of the effort.
No society in history has survived the trajectory it is on – such hate and loathing, while claiming the moral high ground.
At present, there are much better places to invest and raise a family.
Tacoma you’re an embarrassment why not deal with crime, homelessness & potholes. I would tell people don’t think about living Tacoma or business take it elsewhere. I thought abortion in Washington is legal so why was this needed!!!
Sex change operations are not “health care”. That is a mental Health issue and as long as society continues to tolerate men with penises who believe they are women as normal behavior, rather than dealing with the mental health issue at hand, things will continue to get worse.
20 years ago the conservative right warned of a collapse of societal norms and all out sexual anarchy that would lead to the fall of society and sanity and the destruction of the family. This began when the left wanted to change the definition of marriage from one man and one woman to include same sex liaisons. The right asked, “where will it end?”, and warned that this was about far more. The left said, “we don’t even want to call it marriage, we just want to be recognized legally. All we want is “civil unions”… All lies all day long.
The conservative right warned you and the left scoffed. Conservatives were right all along and now we are facing legalization of polygamy, normalization of pedophilia and prostitution, and sex crimes are in the rise like never before.
You were warned and now you deep what you sow.
Will you men keep your uninformed and unnecessarry noses out?
I am 63 years old now, and had there Not been
Planned parenthood on Gravelly Lake dr when i was 15 years old, i could not have received
Help and birth control pills like i did.
You have no right to say anything.
Thank god that when i needed an abortio
When I was in my 30’s, it was legal in
Seattle and Group Health only charged me
$15.00 copay.
What a relief i did not have to shame
Myself and tell my parents.
Planned parenthood and Abortions are great and
They do many more health services for people.
You have no right what
soever to say anything.
Yeah, i dont think God would
Appreciate your gender bender
Choice either, but we are forced
To live with that.
Keep your mouth shut and let women
Get the support they need.
Thank God you do not speak for all women.
