California Gov. Jerry Brown Bans Tanning Beds for Minors

Unreal, with all the issues plaguing California, Governor Jerry Brown signs a bill banning all minors under the age of 18 from using tanning beds. Just another example of “big brother” government interference into individuals lives. So much for freedom of choice.

Minors in the state of California will no longer be allowed to use tanning beds after Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill on Sunday prohibiting anyone under the age of 18 from using ultraviolet tanning devices.

California is the first state in the nation to ban minors from using tanning beds, legislators said.

Previously, California had banned minors under the age of 14 from using tanning beds, but allowed those between 14 and 18 years of age to use tanning beds with parental consent.

Here is the flaw with the liberal logic, “if everyone knew the true dangers of tanning beds, they’d be shocked. Skin cancer is a rising epidemic and the leading cause of cancer death for women between 25 and 29.” Um, if tanning baeds are so dangerous and this is really about health, why aren’t they banned altogether? However, as stated at the Gateway Pundit, tanning beds for minors bad, but abortion is perfectly ok.
