Well, they're at it again -
trying to put another parental notification law on the the Nov. '08 ballot in California, "Sarah's Law".

They need 1.1 million signatures by April 15 with already 875,286 as of yesterday, March 22. For anyone who might be confused, (no one here but possibly someone you know?) this is not good law.

I doubt we can keep it off the ballot but wouldn't it be nice to have one less battle come November?

Anyway, just a heads up for the fight almost certain to come (again).

Ah, somebody's already done the work. ;)

The Catholic Crusader of Coronado is at it again. Jim Holman, the reclusive publisher of the San Diego Reader and San Diego News Notes (a rabidly religious publication that rails against Planned Parenthood and gay people), and his pro-life gang have been given the go-ahead by the state to gather signatures once again for a ballot measure aimed at keeping teen girls from having abortions until their parents have been notified.

Holman and his money prevailed last year in a skirmish within the religious pro-life community. He wanted 2005's initiative, Prop. 73, to include a provision that required doctors to report certain abortion statistics to the state, a mandate the pro-choice crowd considered a scheme to help identify and target clinics. He was also dead-set on a provision that would punish anyone-parents-who “coerce” minors to have abortions with threats of violence or withholding of food or shelter. Holman's gang includes winemaker and former state Assemblymember Don Sebastiani and Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, the Michigan resident who's trying to build (no lie) a strictly Catholic city in Florida. ...



They missed Mary Kuper, though. SamSpade says:

Abortion Victims Remembered
by Rep. Duncan Hunter
Posted: 01/22/2008

... Over the last decade, I have introduced legislation in Congress that would do exactly what the Supreme Court failed to do in the case of Roe v. Wade: recognize the personhood of the unborn. My bill, the Right to Life Act, makes clear that life begins at conception, that the unborn child is indeed a human being, and that he is therefore entitled to all the rights and protections afforded an American citizen. In the 110th Congress, the Right to Life Act has once again attracted strong support, with 100 Members of Congress signing on as co-sponsors.

... Dear Congressman, thank you sincerely for your service to our Country and for constantly upholding our conservative ideals which we hold so dear. You are an inspiration to us all. May God bless your Right to Life Act. May God bless you for your outstanding service. May God bless and guide your son to walk in your footsteps. Your legacy lives on. Sincerely, Mary Kuper




Just in case somebody somewhere wasn't getting it. ;)

4. I've been having satellite and internet conectivity
problems for the past two months, so this one hit me out of the blue with a recorded phone message (on a friend's home phone, no less). They just never give up, do they?

2. Geezus--how many times do we have to vote this crap down?

:grr::mad: I'm so sick of them rephrasing this and putting it on new ballots. Oh and this time they add some crap about pedophiles, knowing that's the hot issue that get's people upset so they can garner signatures? What a bunch of bs. Plain and simple bull!

I'm off to naral and planned parenthood's sites to see what their response is.

8. I've combed that site...
...there is nothing on it pertaining to pedophiles. So again, the anti-choicers are using shock baiting tactics in an attempt to manipulate people. It's really sickening.

On edit--dancing alone, I don't want to threadjack, (even my post was related to your op). So I'm going to just start a new thread with this information and delete what I originally posted. :hi:Sorry for any confusion.

6. Hey bliss!
I'll admit, I am a bit confused. I must have missed it. You? Thread-jacking? (For shame. hehe)

But you, my dear friend, can jack my threads any time you want. It's all for the good.
