Fate of Roe v. Wade

The nation was surprised Monday by the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling on Roe v. Wade.
Draft opinion of abortion vote reverberates in California By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
The U.S. Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion rights case, according to a draft opinion leaked this week. The unprecedented leak, first obtained by POLITICO, reverberated around the nation, leading anti-abortion advocates to cautiously celebrate while pro-choice supporters warned women could die if the opinion is formalized. It’s worth noting this is a draft opinion authored by Justice Samual Alito, considered to be a more conservative voice on the bench, in February — meaning justices could have already tweaked the opinion or changed how they would vote. Opinions — which are the court’s decisions on a case typically including lengthy writings about history and law — are not final until a formal opinion is handed down, and drafts are often circulated as deliberations occur. Opinions are issued before the final day of the court’s term. They typically are announced in June. Still, the leak was unprecedented and offered the world an insiders’ look at a direction the nation’s highest court has, at the very least, considered when it comes to abortion access. The opinion said both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (a case that came nearly 20 years later that reaffirmed Roe) should be overruled. It argued Roe v. Wade was “egregiously wrong from the start” with “exceptionally weak” reasoning and “damning” consequences. “The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” the opinion said. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” the opinion said. The Supreme Court has verified the authenticity of the draft opinion published by POLITICO, and Chief Justice John Roberts ordered an investigation into how it was leaked. “To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed,” Justice Roberts said

“The ability to get an abortion will depend on where you live and how much money you have,” Dr. Jenna Tosh, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Central Coast, said.
Tuesday morning. “The work of the Court will not be affected in any way.” According to POLITICO, Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas, all appointed by Republican presidents, sided with Justice Alito’s opinion. If the draft opinion, or a similar opinion, is in fact handed down by the Supreme Court, how could it impact California? Should the Supreme Court strike down Roe v. Wade, 26 states would ban or greatly restrict abortion through trigger clauses already in place or indications they would enact restrictions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-choice research organization. In California, access to abortion is unlikely to change, but it could see an influx of women coming into the state for such services from places where abortion would be banned, such as nearby Arizona. The Guttmacher Institute estimated California could see a nearly 3,000% increase in women whose nearest abortion provider would be in California. “The ability to get an abortion will depend on where you live and how much money you have,” Dr. Jenna Tosh, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Central Coast, said in a statement provided to the News-Press. “We will never stop fighting until all people have the rights and the ability to make decisions that are best for them, their family and their future,” Dr. Tosh Please see ROE V.

Crowd gathers in De la Guerra Plaza, marches on State Street to support abortion rights By DAVE MASON NEWS-PRESS MANAGING EDITOR
Former state Sen. Hannah Beth Jackson gave a fiery speech Tuesday evening in support of abortion rights in front of a large crowd, who heard other speakers as well at a quickly organized rally in De la Guerra Plaza. After Ms. Jackson’s speech, the crowd marched to and up State Street in support of Roe v. Wade with signs such as “We won’t go back!” “This is a hard day. Like all of you, I’m angry. I’m heartbroken,” Dr. Jenna Tosh, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Central Coast, told the large audience, referring to the leak of a Supreme Court draft opinion calling for overturning Roe v. Wade. Justices have not issued their final ruling, which likely will be issued sometime in June. “Today Roe v. Wade is still the

Then Ms. Jackson called for the Senate to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which the House approved in September. The legislation is designed to protect a person’s ability to decide whether to continue or end a pregnancy and protects a health care provider’s ability to provide abortion services. “We have to demand Congress pass the legislation, which is sitting in some wastebasket in the Senate,” Ms. Jackson said. She called on President Joe Biden, who promised to sign the bill, to do so if the Senate approves it. email: dmason@newspress.com

As nation scrutinizes SCOTUS, SB County GOP eyes Sacramento By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
As news of a draft U.S. Supreme Court opinion overruling Roe v. Wade rattled the nation, the Santa Barbara County Republican Party turned its attention to Sacramento. Abortion access and reproductive rights took center stage this week after POLITICO published a draft opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito overruling the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision credited with legalizing abortion. According to POLITICO, four justices joined with Justice Alito in voting to overrule Roe v. Wade. The draft opinion was authored in February, and the Supreme Court has not yet issued a formal opinion. Justices could have changed their minds or altered the working opinion by now. Still, lawmakers and activists have scrambled to identify how the opinion, if it is formalized, could impact women across the country. And California, a blue state, is not exempt from that conversation. California is not one of 26 states the Guttmacher Institute, a prochoice research organization, has identified that will restrict or outright ban abortion if Roe v. Wade should be overturned. But Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative Democrats have vowed to further enshrine the right to abortion access in California’s state constitution in the wake of the leaked draft opinion. And the Santa Barbara County Republican Party has its sights set on AB 2233, which recently passed the Assembly Health Committee. The bill, meant to enact civil and criminal protections for a woman who has experienced pregnancy loss, has caused confusion as well

Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, said AB 2233 is meant to protect grieving parents from “being unjustly investigated, prosecuted or incarcerated” for pregnancy loss.
as consternation. Opponents have said it could lead to infanticide, meaning the killing of a child after he or she is born. Bobbi McGinnis, chairwoman of the Santa Barbara County Republican Party, called the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion an “egregious breach of trust within the court.” But she said the Assembly bill was “of much greater concern for locals.” Ms. McGinnis said the bill would allow “a mother to end the life of her infant up to 28 days after birth.” “If it passes the State Legislature and is signed into law by Governor Newsom, it will be the most atrocious law in the United States, and we wonder if it will be challenged in the courts as being against the California State Constitution and the U.S. Constitution,” she said in an email to the News-Press. However, nonpartisan fact-
checkers and the bill’s author have said it will not “legalize infanticide” in California, particularly after a Judiciary Committee analysis recommended a change in wording to make it clear “that ‘perinatal death’ is intended to be the consequence of a pregnancy complication.” Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, who authored the bill, said the legislation is meant to protect grieving parents from “being unjustly investigated, prosecuted or incarcerated” for pregnancy loss. “Perinatal loss is included as a type of pregnancy outcome protected under this bill,” Assemblymember Wicks said in a series of tweets last month she said were meant to “debunk some disinformation” about her bill. “This reflects the terrible reality that some parents experience the trauma of losing a baby after delivery as a result of something that happened during their pregnancy.” “These are tragic situations where parents should be supported — not criminalized,” she continued. “No one should face investigation, arrest or prosecution in the midst of their grief for something that happened during their pregnancy.” Assemblymember Wicks has also said the bill is meant to protect Californians who assist out-of-state individuals wishing to obtain an abortion in California from “being investigated, arrested or prosecuted,” according to a legislative analysis of the bill. But Mary Rose Short, the California Right to Life director of outreach, said the bill would give “legal immunity to mothers and anyone who assists them in killing their babies at any time during
pregnancy.” “The bill also allows infanticide because it lists ‘perinatal death due to a pregnancy-related cause’ as one of the types of death for which the mother and her assistants cannot be prosecuted. Neither ‘perinatal’ nor ‘pregnancy-related cause’ is defined in the bill,” Ms. Short said. “As understood in law and medicine, the perinatal period always includes time after a baby is born. Postpartum depression is pregnancy-related. On its face, the bill would give immunity to women who commit infanticide while suffering from postpartum depression.” An Assembly Health Committee analysis of the legislation said “out-of-date provisions” can give way to the “misuse of power” and prosecution of people for pregnancy outcomes. “Based on these provisions, health care providers and institutions report people who have just given birth, had an abortion or experienced a pregnancy loss to police, triggering harmful investigations and even unlawful prosecutions, and this threat of criminal prosecution has a harmful effect on individual and public health,” the analysis said. The bill is co-sponsored by ACLU California Action, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California and more who argue it is not a crime to have an abortion, miscarriage or experience pregnancy loss, according to a bill analysis. The California Family Council and Traditional Values for Next Generations are among those who do not support the legislation over infanticide concerns. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

continued. “To Californians and people who may seek care here, Planned Parenthood’s doors will remain open. And we will do everything we can to continue to provide abortion services to all who need them. Abortion remains legal, and we will fight to make sure it stays that way.” And although California already has a right to privacy provision in its state constitution, Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders said they would push for a constitutional amendment to further protect abortion access in the Golden State. “California will not stand idly by as women across America are stripped of their rights and the progress so many have fought for gets erased,” Gov. Newsom, Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon said. “We will fight. California is proposing an amendment to enshrine the right to choose in our state constitution so that there is no doubt as to the right to abortion in this state. We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution. Women will remain protected here.” In a press conference Tuesday, Sen. Atkins, D-San Diego, said: “If the Supreme Court of the United States won’t protect our bodily autonomy, California will make sure our constitution leaves no room for confusion.” A July 2021 survey from the Public Policy Institute of California found an overwhelming majority of adults in California did not want the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade. The poll found 77% of adults and 79% of likely voters did not want the Supreme Court to overrule the landmark case. Only 20% of likely voters said the Supreme Court should strike it. “A strong majority of Americans support the constitutional right
its protections to retain control of their own bodies and choices,” Rep. Carbajal said. “A majority of Americans over multiple generations have supported a woman’s right to choose. Five justices cannot change that. This is a call to action for all who believe in women’s reproductive rights.” U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., called on Congress to codify Roe v. Wade ahead of a Supreme Court opinion. “It’s time for Congress to get off the sidelines and protect women’s fundamental right to choose. The draft opinion released last night is an urgent warning of the threat an increasingly far-right Supreme Court poses to women’s rights,” Sen. Padilla said. “We must act now before it is too late.” “Make no mistake: the legitimacy of the Supreme Court hangs in the balance,” Sen. Padilla said. And Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California’s senior senator, warned of dire consequences if Roe is overturned. “Make no mistake, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, women will be harmed and some will die. It happened before Roe became the law of the land, and it will happen again, particularly since this decision will harm low-income and at-risk women more than anyone,” she said. “Generations of women have relied on the protections provided by Roe. This dangerous, ill-conceived opinion must not become the law of the land.” But U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader who represents Bakersfield, joined with other GOP leaders to call for an investigation into how the draft was given to POLITICO while simultaneously calling for a continued push against abortion. “Yesterday’s unprecedented leak is an attempt to severely damage the Supreme Court. This clearly coordinated campaign to intimidate and obstruct the justices of the United States Supreme Court, and its independence in our political

to abortion and do not want to see Roe overturned,” Dr. Tosh said. “Most Americans believe that all people should have the freedom and power to control their own bodies and lives.” Meanwhile, Republicans and anti-abortion advocates celebrated the news of the draft opinion. “Justice Alito’s draft decision is a hopeful sign that the Supreme Court might be poised to correct its disastrous Roe v. Wade ruling that fabricated a ‘right’ to abortion violence in the Constitution,” California Right to Life director of outreach Mary Rose Short told the News-Press. “As Alito so thoroughly explains, there is not and has never been a constitutional right to kill unborn human beings.” “In retaliation for the fall of Roe, California politicians are working on a series of bills to use taxpayer dollars to reinforce and expand the abortion industry,” Ms. Short continued. “As the people of other states pass legislation to protect the vulnerable, Gov. Newsom and the California Legislature are making abortion violence a hallmark of our state.” The draft has underscored existing partisan fissures in Congress as well as launched speculation about the motives for the extraordinary leak. President Joe Biden said if the high court does overturn Roe v. Wade, lawmakers “at all levels of government” will be tasked with deciding abortion access. “At the federal level, we will need more pro-choice senators and a pro-choice majority in the House to adopt legislation that codifies Roe, which I will work to pass and sign into law,” President Biden said. U.S. Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Santa Barbara, said Monday was a “devastating day for America’s rule of law.” “A decision that overturns a half-century of legal precedent will be a betrayal of our Constitution and a betrayal of millions of women who count on

Cunningham’s social media liability bill on its way to the floor By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham’s social media liability bill cleared the Assembly Judiciary Committee unanimously and is headed to the Assembly floor. The bill is a bipartisan effort from Assemblymembers Cunningham, R-San Luis Obispo, and Buffy Wicks, D-Oakland, to allow parents and the California attorney general to hold large social media companies liable for knowingly allowing a platform to be addictive to children and ultimately cause harm. “Social media companies’ own research shows how addictive their platforms are for kids — and there’s nothing parents can do to stop it,” Assemblymember Cunningham said. “If you’re going to create a product for children, you need to design it in a way that doesn’t result in some of those kids becoming addicted and having to seek psychiatric care. Our bill would require social media companies to change their practices or be held liable for the damages their addictive features cause.” When the News-Press asked

for a comment on this bill, a spokesperson for Meta — the parent organization of Instagram, Facebook and other subsidiaries — previously pointed to a host of studies and information regarding what the company has done to protect youth.
A TikTok spokesperson also highlighted information about how the company encourages users to manage screen time and other guides for parents and youth about how to report inappropriate behavior and manage privacy settings. “We’ve had kids over the last two years online and using social media apps at unprecedented levels, and we’re seeing unprecedented hospital admittance, unprecedented depression, eating disorders, suicidal ideations. There’s a real crisis among our youth,” Assemblymember Cunningham, whose district includes northern Santa Barbara County, previously told the NewsPress. The bill, AB 2408, unanimously passed out of the Judiciary Committee. It’s expected to be debated on the floor by the end of the month. “I am thankful for my colleagues’ unanimous support in committee and look forward to bringing this important bill to the floor later this month,” Assemblymember Cunningham said in a statement. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com
Santa Barbara City Council hears update from BEACON
By KAITLYN SCHALLHORN NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
BEACON, the Beach Erosion Authority for Clean Oceans and Nourishment, has raised about $1.4 million in the past four years, Marc Beyeler, the group’s executive director, told the Santa Barbara City Council Tuesday. The council heard a status update on BEACON — which operates as a joint powers agency of Santa Barbara and Ventura counties as well as for the cities of Carpinteria, Goleta, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Santa Barbara and Ventura. The presentation focused on BEACON’s projects and accomplishments. BEACON, established in 1986,
addresses beach nourishment, coastal erosion issues and sea-level rise adaptation. Mr. Beyeler pointed to data that has shown the region could lose up to two-thirds of its beaches without proper action. He said BEACON has its own group of scientists who study, specifically, what is going on in the region. He also highlighted a regional monitoring project, which trains graduate students who conduct shoreline profiling. “BEACON is being seen more and more as a statewide model for regional cooperation because there aren’t a lot of areas in the state that have the regional dedication to coastal issues that we have,” Councilmember Eric Friedman
said. “We’re one of the only, if not the only one, that works like this.” Santa Barbara pays annual membership dues that fund BEACON’s operations, which totaled more than $42,200 for fiscal year 2022, according to a staff report. BEACON has proposed increasing that fee to $44,397 for the next fiscal year because of inflation, the report said. Tuesday’s meeting was fairly quick. Aside from the BEACON report, the council received a status report on a Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan and accepted three grant awards from the California Coastal Commission. email: kschallhorn@newspress.com

SANTA MARIA VALLEY — Early Monday morning, Fidel Gomes Reyes was traveling westbound driving a 2006 Peterblit semi-truck and pulling a trailer. Domingo Perez Lopez was traveling southbound on Philbric Road in a 2007 Honda Civic, and had stopped at a stop sign. Mr. Lopez started to make the turn on to eastbound Betteravia, directly in front of the 2006 Peterblit. As Mr. Lopez began making the turn, the front of the semitruck collided with the left side of the Honda Civic, according to the Santa Maria office of the California Highway Patrol. The Honda Civic continued in the southwest direction and came to a stop south of Betteravia, CHP said. The semi-truck continued in the south westerly direction drove off the roadway, into a power pole, and into a fence causing the trailer to overturn. The power pole broke on impact and the wire snapped landing on the roadway. The road was closed and opened later in the afternoon by PG&E. Both drivers as well as passenger Servillano Perez Lopez were transported to Marian Medical Regional Center and treated for injuries. The left rear passenger of the Honda sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision, according to Santa Maria CHP.

Analysis: Abortion could be severely limited in 26 states if Roe v. Wade is overturned
By BETHANY BLANKLEY
THE CENTER SQUARE CONTRIBUTOR
(The Center Square) — Abortion would be banned or severely limited in 26 states if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, an analysis by the Guttmacher Institute indicates. “Changes to the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 raise the possibility that Roe v. Wade could be severely undermined — or even overturned — essentially leaving the legality of abortion to individual states,” the Guttmacher Institute states in an analysis of state abortion laws. “A reversal of Roe could establish a legal path for states’ pre-1973 abortion bans, as well as currently unenforced post1973 bans, to take effect.” If a reported Supreme Court draft ruling on a Mississippi case leaked by Politico is true, the court would reportedly overturn two landmark abortion cases, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, leaving the legality of abortion up to the states. The draft ruling, if true, relates to Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In it, Justice Samuel Alito reportedly argues, “The Constitution does not prohibit
the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.” In 1973, the Supreme Court struck down Texas’s ban on abortion, ruling abortion was a “fundamental right.” In 1991, it granted review of a challenge to several Pennsylvania abortion restrictions in Casey, which included a question on the court overturning or reaffirming Roe. The majority reaffirmed Roe. Since Casey, legislatures in mostly red states began passing incrementally restrictive abortion laws; legislatures in blue states began passing incrementally extensive abortion on demand laws. As a result, if Roe were overturned, abortion would be banned or severely limited in 23 states and legally protected in 16 states and the District of Columbia. Prior to Roe, 10 states banned abortion: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Some of these laws were enjoined by a court order and aren’t in effect. Texas’ ban, prompting Roe, was permanently enjoined. But courts
would likely order the enjoined laws back into effect if Roe were overturned. After Roe, Texas and 12 other states enacted “trigger laws” intended to take effect once Roe is overturned. They include Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming. The trigger laws ban all or nearly all abortions once Roe is overturned; some include exceptions. Those laws “enacted after Roe are designed to be ‘triggered’ and take effect automatically or by swift state action if Roe is overturned,” Guttmacher explains. Citizens and legislatures in four states also passed constitutional amendments explicitly stating that abortion is not a right and public funds can’t be used for abortions: Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee and West Virginia. Texas also passed the Heartbeat Act prohibiting abortions from being performed once a heartbeat of the preborn baby is detected. The case was challenged and ultimately defeated after the Supreme Court rejected requests to halt it and the Fifth Circuit effectively ended all challenges last month.
By contrast, 16 states legalized abortion on demand: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. In a 2019 report, the Center for Reproductive Rights estimated that if Roe were overturned, 34 states and five territories wouldn’t have abortion protections. The report was conducted before newer laws were enacted, like New Jersey’s for example, which recently codified abortion rights as state law. If Roe were overturned, it argues, states would be “divided into abortion deserts where it would be illegal to access care, and abortion havens, where care would continue to be available. Millions of people living in abortion deserts, mainly in the South and Midwest, would be forced to travel to receive legal care, which would result in many more people being unable to access abortion for a variety of financial and logistical reasons.” An official opinion on Dobbs is expected to be released in June or July. If Roe were to be overturned, state trigger laws and other court actions would likely go into effect this summer.
Overturning Roe v. Wade would have little impact on Washington state’s abortion laws
By BRETT DAVIS
THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER
(The Center Square) — If the landmark case legalizing abortion in Roe v. Wade is overturned as suggested by a now-confirmed draft of a majority opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, not much would change in Washington state in terms of abortion law. The Supreme Court draft ruling on a high-profile abortion case was created in February, according to Politico, which obtained the opinion and released it Monday. Per the draft opinion, the court would overturn two landmark cases, Roe, as well as Planned Parenthood of Southern
Pennsylvania v. Casey. If the court ends up ruling as the draft opinion indicates, the abortion issue would be returned to the states, without federal courts having a say over the legality of abortion rules. That means little would change in Washington should Roe be overturned. That’s because abortions are more accessible in Washington, where state law protects a woman’s right to terminate her pregnancy any time before the fetus is considered viable — that is, when it can survive outside of the womb. That’s generally considered to be about 24 weeks. State law also allows pregnancies to be ended past 24
weeks, if doing so would protect the health or life of the mother. Abortion rights in the Evergreen State were bolstered in April 2021 when Gov. Jay Inslee signed House Bill 1099 into law. HB 1009 requires college student health plan coverage that includes maternity care to “also provide a covered person with substantially equivalent coverage to permit the abortion of a pregnancy.” There seemed to be bipartisan agreement among state legislative leaders about the strength of Washington’s abortion laws, if not abortion itself. “In Washington state, our Democratic majorities have reinforced laws that guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion,” said
Sen. Majority Leader Andy Billig, D-Spokane, in a Tuesday morning statement. “But even though our state was prepared for this erosion of rights, now that this moment has apparently arrived, it is no less shocking. For the majority of my life, I have watched the Supreme Court expand and reinforce the rights of Americans — not revoke them. Unfortunately in recent years, we have seen this court move in a different direction away from basic individual liberties. Our state will remain a beacon for choice and welcome people from other states who are being denied their right to choose.” Brett Davis covers the Washington state government for The Center Square.
Rep. McMorris Rodgers says leaked Supreme Court opinion damages public trust By RAELYNN RICARTE THE CENTER SQUARE STAFF REPORTER
(The Center Square) — U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane, said Tuesday the leak of a draft opinion in a U.S. Supreme Court case involving an argument over abortion rights “will severely damage the public’s trust” in the institution. “It’s a deliberate attack on the integrity of the court and its role as an independent judiciary,” she said in a statement. “There must be a complete investigation into how this leak happened and who is responsible.” The 98-page draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito was leaked to the press and subsequently published.
Although the high court has not yet formally ruled on the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, Justice Alito’s opinion would strike down the right to abortion established by the 1973 case Roe V. Wade. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has confirmed the authenticity of the leaked draft opinion. He noted Tuesday that the draft ruling does not represent the court’s final decision. Justice Roberts also announced that he had directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak. “At this very moment, Democrats and the Left are using this breach of trust as an opportunity to spread fear and force their discriminatory
JAHNKE, Tillie Manda
12/8/1926 – 4/12/2022 With a kiss goodnight from her loving husband, and a promise to go home soon, Tillie did just that. On April 12th, 2022, she was called home, peacefully healed and whole, to her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. We embrace the evidence of God’s goodness throughout her life, one which left a legacy of loyal devotion and a heart of service. Tillie Jahnke was born on December 8th, 1926 in Waldeck, Saskatchewan, Canada to Nicolai and Helena Friesen, the 8th of 10 children in her family. Her childhood was challenged by the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and her father’s untimely death in a train accident. The family then moved to Herbert where she finished her last two years of high school. It was there that she met an ex-military soldier, named Curt. They dated for 4 years, attending Bethel College in Kansas, and then married the summer of 1948. Over the next 73 years together Curt and Tillie roamed the country from Idaho to Omaha, Kansas City and Fargo, before settling in Santa Barbara. Along the way, they welcomed the blessing of 5 children, and Tillie used her degree in Home Economics and Textile Arts to creatively design each dwelling with fabrics and furnishings. Her gifts of hospitality and service blessed many ministries for the churches they faithfully attended. The family enjoyed several adventures in world travel, including living abroad in Switzerland for one year. In 1990, their home and all of their memories were destroyed in the Painted Cave Fire, except for a pair of ceramic doves, unscathed. Tillie leaned into her faith in the Lord, and assurance He would see her through this trial, as well as several life threatening health issues. She modeled a life surrendered to her Creator, open to sharing her gifts, and always ready for the next adventure. One of her mottos shared with Curt stated, “Every dream comes with wings.” She would want to encourage all to keep dreaming, and to then, fly. Isaiah 40:31 Tillie is survived by her husband, Curt, her five children Errol, Bobbie, Kevin, Lisa, and Tim, 8 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren. We would also like to gratefully acknowledge the welcoming support for the past two years from The Golden Inn and Village community in the Santa Ynez Valley. Please join us Wednesday, May 11, 2022 for a 10:00 graveside service at Oak Hill Cemetery in Solvang, CA, followed by an 11:00 memorial service and reception at Santa Ynez Presbyterian Church, Solvang, CA. Officiated by pastors, Bob Parks and John Coulombe. Questions, or RSVP to tilliememorial@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials honoring Tillie be made to Global School of Sports Ministry (Russ Carr, P.O. Box 1271, Forest, VA 24551), or to Athletes in Action CRU (Gus and Suzy Hermes c/o CRU, 100 Lake Hart Dr., Orlando, FL 32832).
pro-abortion agenda on every American,” said Rep. McMorris Rodgers. “Their Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act allows for abortion during any stage of pregnancy up until birth and for any reason, including on the basis of a baby’s gender, race, or disability. It allows for any lateterm abortion regardless of the welfare of the mother or the baby.” She said this “extreme agenda” is supported by nearly every Democrat in the House and Senate. She called on Americans to stand against it. “This agenda must be stopped by a movement united behind our Constitutional and God-given right to life. Let’s be warriors for human dignity and human value,” said Rep. McMorris Rodgers.
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all must remain the unshakeable moral bedrock of the greatest experiment in selfgovernance the world has ever known.” Rep. McMorris Rodgers, who identifies as a “pro-life mom,” participated in a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court when the case of Dobbs was being argued last December. She spoke about the joy of having three children, including son Cole, then 14, who was born with Down Syndrome. At the time, she pointed out examples of people with the syndrome who are contributing to society. “We need to advocate that our laws protect the dignity and value of the unborn,” she said.

Feds: Number of job openings hit new high in March By CASEY HARPER THE CENTER SQUARE SENIOR REPORTER
(The Center Square) — Job openings in the U.S. continue to rise, now nearly doubling the number of job seekers, according to newly released federal data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the new data Tuesday showing 11.5 million job openings for the month of March, a new record. That figure is up from 11.3 million in February and is a roughly 36% increase from the same time last year. Hiring slightly declined in March while Americans quit their jobs 4.5 million times that month, which could include the same person quitting multiple times. “Job openings increased in retail trade (+155,000) and in durable goods manufacturing (+50,000),” BLS said. “Job openings decreased in transportation, warehousing, and utilities (-69,000); state and local government education (-43,000); and federal government (-20,000). Job openings increased in the South region. “Quits increased in professional and business services (+88,000) and construction (+69,000),” BLS added.

Small businesses saw some relief in March. “In March, the job openings rate increased in establishments with 50 to 249 employees and establishments with 250 to 999 employees,” BLS said. “The job openings rate decreased in establishments with 10 to 49 employees.” The data is the latest troubling economic indicator alongside the highest inflation in four decades as a third of small businesses consider shutting their doors. Republicans laid the blame for the labor market issues at President Joe Biden’s feet. Mr. Biden has touted the economic gains since the economic plunge during the COVID-19 shutdowns. Critics, though, say those gains have not been strong or fast enough and point to soaring inflation and the job market. Critics also blasted President Biden’s recently stated plans to consider partially canceling student loan debt amid economic difficulties. “Job openings hit a record 11.549 million last month,” said U.S. Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas. “Why should we cancel student loans when millions of paychecks are waiting?” Casey Harper works at The Center Square’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

‘Art of Hummingbirds’ New exhibit features Victorian lithographs of exotic birds By MARILYN MCMAHON NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
‘T
he Art of Hummingbirds,” a new exhibit featuring 20 original 19thcentury hand-colored lithographs of exotic hummingbirds, is opening Friday at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. The summer exhibit is on view through Sept. 5 and is included in museum admission. “Hummingbirds have captivated gardeners and bird watchers alike for their delicate beauty and avian maneuvers,” said Linda Miller, Maximus Gallery curator, who has been waiting to share this exhibition since 2020. Lining the walls of the gallery, the exhibit’s lithographs represent a sample of 360 plates by the British ornithologist and publisher, John Gould. “While all of Mr. Gould’s books on birds were popular, it was his five-volume monograph on ‘The Family of Hummingbird,’ published between 1849 to 1861, that drew the most attention,” said Ms. Miller. “His work on hummingbirds provided the most reliable attempt to arrange the species systematically and became the definitive reference for the Victorian era. “As a trained taxidermist, Mr. Gould did not see a living

hummingbird until a decade after creating his monograph. However, he was able to study taxidermy specimens and developed a technique to capture the reflective iridescence of hummingbird feathers. “After a trip to the U.S., he was finally able to observe these unique birds’ blurry, dynamic wings in real life. Nevertheless, Mr. Gould continued to publish illustrations with birds in poses that evoked his romantic dreams more than their bumblebeelike physicality. The exhibition counterbalances these mythic gems with high-speed photography and the zipping sounds of living birds,” Ms. Miller said. Native to the Western Hemisphere, there are more than 320 species of hummingbirds, mostly found in Central and South America. Of the 17 species found in North America, only six are routinely found on the Central Coast. Prints of two of these six will be on display as new museum acquisitions: The Black-chinned and Costa’s Hummingbirds. An online search revealed the following fascinating facts about hummingbirds: • They are the smallest migrating bird. They don’t migrate in flocks like other species, and they typically travel alone for up to 500 miles at a time. • The name, hummingbird, Please see HUMMINGBIRDS on B2

Harper Tyng, an eighth-grader at Dunn Middle School, placed fourth in April in the Junior Cognitive Science Division of the California Science and Engineering Fair 2022. She’s now preparing for the 2022 Broadcom Masters, billed as “The Nation’s Premier Middle School STEM Competition,” in June. And Harper was one of nine Dunn Middle School students to win awards in March in the Santa Barbara County Science and Engineering Fair. Dunn Middle School STEM teacher Meg West said she has never seen so many students participate and win awards. She has overseen Dunn’s science fair participation for 10 years. “We have had other gold and silver winners in the past, but to have a sweep like this, I was blown away,” Ms. West said in a news release. In the county contest, Tyng and Sophia Elliot won gold and silver, respectively, in Cognitive and Social Sciences. The category of Molecular Biology, Chemistry and Microbiology was swept by Dunn students Gracie Pitts (gold),
Robert Wilcox (silver), Ava LoperBenson (bronze) and Margaret Watson (bronze). Gretchen Grenier won silver in Environmental Sciences, Devyn Hazard won silver in Mechanical and Earth Sciences . Kayla Shomes won bronze in Botany and Zoology. Harper’s science fair project focused on the phenomenon of test anxiety. “Test anxiety has become a really big problem among students, just anxiety in general over school,” she said. “Tests are massive, and so if you are personally really worried about your grade, it can cause you a lot of fear.” When it comes to Dunn’s success at science fair such as the county competition, Harper and other students are feeling the thrill of a great accomplishment. “A lot of people are really excited about it,” Harper said. “They go, ‘Wow, I would never have thought to do the county science fair, but that’s really cool. I want to do that next year.’ “I think there’s a pretty strong sense of pride at the middle school.” email: dmason@newspress.com

HUMMINGBIRDS
Continued from Page B1
comes from the humming noise their wings make as they beat so fast. • Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward. • The average weight of a hummingbird is less than a nickel. • Their tiny legs are only used for perching and moving sideways while perched. They can’t walk or hop. • Hummingbirds drink the nectar found in feeders by moving their tongue in and out about 13 times per second. They can consume up to double their body weight in a day. • The average number of eggs laid by female hummingbirds is only two. These eggs have been found in nests smaller than a half dollar and compare in size to a jellybean or a coffee bean. • A flock of hummingbirds can be referred to as a bouquet, a glittering, a hover, a shimmer or a tune. email: mmcmahon@newspress. com

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

LIBRA — Gloom over money matters might catch up with you at some point today, Libra. However, there’s nothing really major to worry about. Financially, your business affairs should be going well, so you’re probably doing better than you think. A little caution might be in order, especially regarding impulse buying or purchasing luxuries. SCORPIO — Today you might find yourself feeling a little low, Scorpio, but it doesn’t seem as if there’s any real reason for it. You may just have had a bad night and need some extra sleep. Some good news from far away could cheer you up in the afternoon. You might receive an invitation to go out to dinner with a close friend. You should be feeling like your old self again by evening. SAGITTARIUS — Old memories, traumas, and phobias from the past could affect your mood today, Sagittarius. You might feel depressed without really knowing why. An event in your life has brought these feelings near the surface without revealing the source. If you’ve had any disturbing dreams or visions lately, write them down. They might offer a clue as to what’s bothering you. CAPRICORN — A friend might be feeling a little depressed today and need some cheering up. Social events or group activities could be of great help in doing that, and it would do you some good as well, Capricorn. A long-term goal may finally be reached, justifying a celebration. Interacting with a group could take up a lot of your time and concentration, but take care not to get too tired. AQUARIUS — Pivotal career matters may need to be thought through today, Aquarius. A lot could be at stake at work in the very near future. Whatever tasks you need to tend to could require a lot of effort and concentration. There’s a danger of sinking into a gloomy mood over it, but try to avoid this trap. You’ll probably accomplish whatever it is you’re hoping to do, so hang onto that thought. Go to it! PISCES — Today you might find that a long-term dream finally comes true. Perhaps a trip that you’ve fantasized about for a long time finally shows promise of actually happening, Pisces. A practical and methodical approach to arranging the details should make it seem that much more real to you. However, do take care to plan each step carefully so that you don’t end up working harder than necessary.

HOROSCOPE ARIES — Some strange and rather gloomy dreams could come your way tonight, Aries. They could, if you let them, catapult you into a rather depressed mood during the day. Writing them down might help exorcise the negative emotions. You could also be a bit depressed over money. TAURUS — A lack of communication with an unhappy family member could have you feeling a little downhearted, Taurus. You might wonder if you’ve done something to offend this person. Chances are you haven’t. The best way to handle situations like this is to encourage the person to communicate with you. If there’s no response, wait a day or so and ask again. GEMINI — The promise of a promotion or raise could be on your mind today, Gemini. You might try to visualize the next steps and anticipate tasks that take more effort and concentration than you’re used to. Don’t panic. It’s better to not push yourself so hard. Wait a few days until the planets relax a little and just do what you need to do - no more, no less. CANCER — You might decide to spend a large part of the day working on a project that requires a lot of mental energy. Plans to spend some time with either a close friend or lover might not turn out to be quite what you’d hoped, Cancer. Your friend could be in a rather gloomy mood. A relaxing evening, perhaps a concert or funny movie, can release tension and boost bad moods. Enjoy! LEO — A gloomy guest could arrive today, Leo, and likely need some cheering up. Do the best you can, but don’t try to do it by cooking a meal. The results of your efforts might not be all that exciting. This is a great day to go for fast food. Take your friend to a movie, concert, or art gallery. This could get your mind off his or her troubles and your mind off your friend! VIRGO — Some rather depressing information could come your way, Virgo, but don’t take it at face value. It might not be as bad as it seems. Check the facts before making yourself crazy. This isn’t a good day for visiting or running errands in your neighborhood, as the traffic could be a nightmare. Anything you try to read today could seem boring, so movies are likely to be the best entertainment now.
