Californians: Anti-choice proposition makes November ballot for 3rd time. PLEDGE NO!
From NARAL:

Today the secretary of state confirmed that a dangerous and divisive anti-choice ballot qualified for the November ballot.

.... Californians spoke loudly and clearly TWO TIMES before when they voted to protect teen safety by rejecting Prop. 73 in 2005 and Prop. 85 in 2006. We are confident they will reject this new measure again because voters understand that the safety of our teens is at stake

Every major medical association recognized the harm that divisive measures like this one would cause. Doctors, nurses, teachers, family practitioners, counselors, and parents know the best way to protect teens is to begin talking to them from early age responsible, appropriate sexual behavior and to make sure they have the safe medical care they need, when they need it.

Once again, anti-choice millionaires are funding a ballot measure that put teens’ health and safety at risk, while they refuse to support ways to improve family communication and ensure teens have the information they need to prevent an unintended pregnancy in the first place. Help us defeat the ballot measure once again and let proponents of this bill know: three strikes and you’re out.

Pledge to Vote NO again

2. Geezus I am sick of this shit....
:grr::mad::puke:

WTF...? Do they think they'll just wear us down? That we'll forget we just voted on this?

I hope that those on this board that voted for three-faced gov. musclehead are paying attention.
BEFORE entering office, he claimed to support choice. Yet, this crap continues to get on our ballots.

There are issues he has refused to allow on ballots, stating "the people have already spoken on that." Usually they are issus that protect business (translation--he's a corporatist).

But when it comes to women's rights and issues...we have to continually be voted on. Sorry but I call bullshit on all of this.

Interesting to me that this isn't one of the issues that he he won't allow on a ballot---given we've already voted on it THREE TIMES!!!!

Hello...?! Pay attention, people.

They need some new laws regarding that.

5. Family Communication
Hi Nikki,

In your post a part of a sentence jumped out at me:

...while they refuse to support ways to improve family communication...


Can you describe to me what these initiatives are that the "anti-choice millionaires" oppose that promote family communication?

Duke
