Protect the Health and Safety of California's Young Women
Target: NARAL California ChapterSponsored by: NARAL Pro-Choice America
In November's special election called by Governor Schwarzenegger, Californians will see a dangerous initiative on the ballot. Californians will have an opportunity to vote on a parental notification measure on a woman's access to abortion, which threatens the health and well being of young women in our state.
Real family communication begins at home, not at the ballot box. The best way to protect our daughters is to begin talking to them about responsible, appropriate sexual behavior when they're young and to continue to keep the lines of communication open as they get older. Our focus should be on prevention of unwanted pregnancies through comprehensive sex education, counseling and access to contraceptives.
This proposed amendment to California’s constitution, known as Proposition 73, would do nothing to reduce the number of unintended teen pregnancies - pregnancies that have in fact declined 40% in California over the past decade without government mandates like this one!
Join us in opposing Proposition 73, because parents and teens need real world solutions, not constitutional amendments.

teenagers who are required to ask their parents but cannot are likely tohave illegal abortions under poorer conditions or abandon the child afterit isborn because the did not want it but couldnt tell their parents about it. the government does not have the right to interfere with personal issues.

I am pro Governor Arnold and admire him greatly, but on this subject I am firmly on the side of women of any age to a free and unfettered decision in privacy with their conscience, doctor or spiritual leader if they choose. This should be well established by now in law and what the majority opinion wants. I am a Christian who believes that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour. I deeply believe Jesus would be on the side of women's right to choose in this modern era. Thank you and please vote for what is right. Howard Alexander Stafford

It is the parent's responsability to talk to the child and understand the situation. If a young woman does not want her parents to know about her abortion, it is usually with good reason.

It is a womans choice, and if her values are not the same as her parents there is no reason her life should be bound to another if she is not ready. If you were raped at a party and got pregnant would you want the child? Would you want your parents to know? No!
