Prop 4

if proposition 4 were to be passed, it would mean that a girl would have to notify her parents before she got an abortion. I think this proposition is very controversial. On one side i can see why they would want to pass it, one of their main points is to "reduce" sexual predators, due to sarah's law. If the law were passed then the girl would be able to tell another relative, but inorder to be allowed to tell another relative, about her abortion the girl would have to have in writing that her parents abuse her which would then lead to further problems including the parents being arrested. I'm stuck in the middle of this one, because i feel for the girls that wouldnt want to tell their parents. Some girls may come from abusive homes, and not have good relationships with their parents. A lot of girls are scared to go to their parents in situations like these, beccause they might get abused or kicked out of the house, or threatened in other ways. If a girl is raped then i think its a different story, because then it would also be in the authorities hands, and the girl wouldnt be at fault, which would mean that the parents really have no reason to be dissapointed in their child. I can see where both sides come from on this proposition and it will be interesting to see which side wins it.
