Prop. 73 not just about parental notification
The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Proposition 73—the California amendment that would require parental notification before a teen could obtain an abortion—is a lot more dangerous than it seems:
One little-discussed provision of the Nov. 8 ballot measure would create a public scorecard for judges who rule on minors' abortions. Another would define abortion in the state Constitution as the killing of "a child conceived but not yet born."
Whoa! You gotta love how they sneak that shit in there.

I watched a program on SBS about the American situation (re abortion), think that's how I ended-up here ... kinda like ending up in a time-warp.
Could someone please edify me how "parental notification" affects the outcome, does it place some burden upon the parents or is it merely a stalling tactic.
I truly don't understand.
Having said that, I do understand the fact that pro-no-choice want it, means it advantages there cause in some way.
