FAILED TO PASS!
 
Tuesday, November 7th, 2006 Proposition 85:

The Way it is Now: In the state of California it is legal for a minor to get an abortion without notifying her parents or legal guardian. All aspects of her identity are confidential.
The Way it Will be with Prop 85: It will be illegal for a minor to receive an abortion without their parent or legal guardian being notified forty-eight hours before hand. The only exceptions would be in the case of an emergency or with a court order.

 
Arguments For
Safety Issues
Arguments Against
A procedure is being performed on a minor by an unknown doctor.
Abortion is a proven safe procedure in most cases of minor pregnancy when done by a trained physician.
All physicians at the planned parenthood facility are professionals who have been well trained and are fully qualified to perform abortions.
Allows for police and parents to be notified if a sexual assault has occurred and a sexual predator to be apprehended.
A young girl looking to keep confidentiality for any number of reasons turn to “back yard butchers” to retain their privacy.
Takes away from a girls right to privacy, and puts added pressure on the right to chose.
