"When a patient accesses care for a sensitive service, including sexual and reproductive health care, confidentiality is of the utmost importance," the group said on its website.
Noting that the patient seeking services is not always the health care coverage policy holder, the group said it would prevent parents or an abusive spouse from learning about any sensitive services.
Another Planned Parenthood-backed bill, Assembly Bill 1973, would bar deductibles, co-payments, or other cost-sharing requirements for abortions under Medi-Cal, a health care service plan, or an individual or group disability insurance policy, the California Family Council said.
A.B. 2035 would require social workers to inform children in foster care aged 10 or older about their legal rights to receive free birth control and abortions without their foster parents' approval or knowledge. County social workers would be required to verify to the court that they have informed foster children of these rights
The bill would require foster families to receive annual training to explain these legal rights of foster children.
Pehanich, while not commenting on specific proposals, outlined general principles.
"All bills are evaluated on the principles embodied in faithful citizenship, respect for life and Catholic social teaching," he said.
"None of these bills have even had a hearing yet and I think the odds are fairly good they will not. Of course, the California Catholic Conference is in favor of parental consent and opposes legislation that promotes or expands abortion."
Other proposals likely to be shelved include a $15 million LGBT Transgender Wellness Fund.
The money, as proposed by A.B. 2218, would fund grants to hospitals, nonprofits, health care clinics and other medical providers which provide puberty blockers and opposite-sex hormones for minors.
The grants would also support these provisions for adults, as well as fund purported sex-change operations.
