 * Tom McClintock,
Tom McClintock strongly
supports YES on 85:
"Your 16-year-old daughter cannot use a tanning bed
or get her ears pierced without your written consent. But she can undergo a surgical
abortion without you even being notified. Proposition 85 restores your right to
know what is happening to your own child. Please join me and vote YES on 85."

Parental Notification:
"Parents - without your knowledge, a teacher, a
neighbor, an older boyfriend, a sexual predator can legally take your daughter for
a secret abortion. That's wrong. Parents have a right to know."

Ben Stein Supports
Parental Notification:
"Current California law allows an underage girl
to receive an abortion, a potentially life-threatening procedure, without her parents
ever knowing. This just doesn't make sense. All parents have the right to know if
their child is receiving a major medical procedure."

 Laura Ingraham
Laura Ingraham Supports
Parental Notification:
"In California, a minor child must have a parents'
permission to take an aspirin in school, or to have her ears pierced, or to go on
a field trip. But a girl as young as 12 years old can obtain a surgical abortion
without any parental consent or notification. So please vote yes... that requires
parents of girls under 18 years of age to be notified at least 48 hours before their
daughter is allowed to have an abortion."

Heaton
Patricia Heaton Supports
Parental Notification:
"As a parent, I can't think of anything more important
than the welfare of our children. Those of us in California are all too aware of
horror stories of sexual predators: older men who prey on our children. It is our
responsibility to stop deviants like these who would pressure a young girl into
[an abortion] to cover up crimes like statutory rape. Sexual predators will no longer
be able to hide and continue their crimes. And parents will not lose their daughters
to abortion complications."
