Ban on Gay Marriage, Abortion Parental Notification Both Winning in California
| Tue Nov. 4, 2008 9:21 PM PST
With 14% of precincts reporting, Prop 8, which would amend California's constitution to eliminate equal marriage rights is leading 55% to 45%. Still too soon to call, but it's not looking good.
On a similar note, California's initiative that would mandate parental notification for minors who want an abortion is also leading with 13% reporting, 51% to 49%.

What a despicable echo of the Cheneybush "culture" of hatred, division, and interference in the liberty of others. I voted against both of these because none of it is my bloody business, and, unlike the self-righteous (and thoroughy morally blind) rightist Republicans, I am content to allow families to deal with their own problems in their own way. If a minor cannot be honest with a parent, then there is something wrong with the parent. Do you want a 17-year-old girl to get a safe abortion, or would you rather have her beaten to death by an abusive father? You may claim to abhor "honor killings" -- but with this law in place, you can expect more of them. Shame on anyone who supports this sort of faux-moral BS.
