Six years ago, a 15 year old girl was raped in Southern California, became pregnant as a result, and was taken to a Planned Parenthood clinic to get an abortion by her rapist..a much older man in his thirties. She died during the abortion because the businesses that perform abortion are quick fix places that have no desire to involve family members or others who can help. Loving parents who could have helped with Sarah's medical history and reached out with comfort were never notified until the coroner called them. The rapist was never prosecuted because, thanks to the abortion industry's immense clout in the country, most states actually forbid abortion businesses from reporting suspected statutory rape ( Yes there are letters of the law but so many loopholes that they don't mean much. Think about it, if all statutory rapes were to be reported by the likes of George Tille and his cohorts, how the heck are these hacks with medical degress going to make money?).
Unfortunately, Sarah's is not a unique story. Fortunately, the people of California do have an opportunity to push back against the combined political and financial might of the abortion industry, the child predators, and the lawyers who protect both. Despite continuing to be outspent five to one, pro child welfare advocates were able to qualify Sarah's Law (Proposition 4) for the ballot in the upcoming November general elections. Proposition 4 requires an abortion business to notify the parents of minors prior to conducting an abortion on a minor (with the provision of judicial bypass in special cases of at home abuse), mandates the reporting of suspected sexual abuse, and establishes a 48 hour waiting period unless otherwise warranted medically. Polls suggest that most Californians, including a plurality of Democrats, support the ballot initiative and, like most Americans everywhere, want to bring some sanity back to the outright abortion on demand regime foisted on America's children by the abortion industry and its radical extremist supporters. While it is true that Americans remain as divided as ever over the question of abortion, there is little doubt that an overwhelmingly majorty of Americans, including a plurality of self described 'pr choice' people strongly support common sense middle ground positions like getting rid of taxpayer funding for the likes of George Tiller, full disclosure to patients, and parental consent/information laws with judicial bypass.
Sarah's Law is commonsense protection for the children of California and the people of California have a stark choice this November. Either they can show the courage to defy Hollywood and vote for their vulnerable children or they can bend to the money and might of the the abortion industry-predator-lawyer combine. It is not about pro choice versus pro life this time. Rather, this round is between pro child versus pro predator.
