TUPELO, Miss. — Years of leftist governance in California have led to brazen and repugnant human trafficking as prostitutes twerk naked on busy streets in broad daylight. A law signed last year by Governor Gavin Newsom, the grotesquely misnamed “Safer Streets for All Act,” has worsened this long-term trend into such suffering that only national repentance could stem the “inexorable collapse” of civilization.

Responding to this concerning new bill in California, American Family Association (AFA, www.AFA.net) Executive Vice President Ed Vitagliano said when justice systems are founded on truth they commend what is good and prohibit evil, but the enemies of good are reversing the justice system, resulting in a headlong plunge into degrading, sexualized chaos right where people live.

“Elections have consequences and, as a result, so do the laws passed by those elected,” said Vitagliano. “These consequences are devastating. When the wicked can make fistfuls of money by victimizing women, they will. When they can make money by appealing to the base instincts of human beings, they will. The existence of the justice system is meant to suppress such evil, but when lawmakers are in rebellion against God –– like they clearly are in California –– the people suffer, and civilization begins its inexorable collapse.”
