Pro-family activists in California are asking citizens to urge Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown to veto a bill some critics say would effectively ban the sale of the Bible in the state.
AB 2943 classifies as “consumer fraud” any financial transaction – such as selling a book or charging for a seminar – related to counseling people to overcome same-sex attractions.
The bill has been disputed hotly for months and last month was delayed voluntarily in the state Senate. But now the Senate has voted 25-11 to adopt it, sending it back to the Assembly where Senate changes must be approved.
