Sacramento, CA (LifeNews.com) -- California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed into law a measure prohibiting any Internet web site posting of the picture, home address, or telephone number of an abortion practitioner. The measure targets those who would threaten abortion practitioners but could be used to prosecute anyone publishing a pro-life web site.

Assemblywoman Noreen Evans, a Democrat, sponsored the bill, which the state Senate approved following a spirited fight against it led by Republican Senator Dennis Hollingsworth. The state House supported on a 53-9 vote in May.The bill applies to the posting of personal information or pictures of volunteers, employees or other people associated with an abortion business."Women should never face vigilante justice for exercising their reproductive rights,” Evans said in a statement after the governor signed the bill. “The same goes for those who work to enable women to exercise these rights.” the rest
