Something interesting to think about
Don Seer:
we've had a similar situation over here.. teachers are scared to do shit.. and kids have become unruly.. so they're (hopefully) changing the law to give teachers more power.. basically to give them much more power over the kids while they're at school.. including allowing things like medical treatment, physical restraint etc etc

If the same 17 year old girl wants to have an abortion, though, she's allowed to do that without her parents knowing about it.

Isn't California great :D
Looks like the parent is responsible for 17 year old and the 17 year old is responsible for the baby.
Birch Barlow:
You wanna know why this is? Because this state is under the stranglehold of a few tie-dyed tree-huggers who would rather play hackeysack than lock up the homeless.
Javier:
If this prop would have passed, it would have also redefine the term abortion.

This is #1 tool available for neo-conservatives to energize their base (their base being zionist-Christians). This issue and the issue of homosexuality were used as a gigantic smokescreen in the last election that covered up Bush's war crimes abroad, his lies to the American public, and his domestic policy that blatantly favours the rich. But even poor Christians forgot about all of that because he made them think about two issues, gays and abortions.
Funny thing is, not much would have changed in either of those categories had Bush lost the election. And I didn't vote for George Bush or John Kerry, all I'm pointing out is that Christians don't see the hypocrisy in killing babies in Afganistan and Iraq, and then talking about being pro-life at home. I was raised a Christian but I never could accept it because the hypocrisy is overwhelming.
