You lost, because most people know the real score
Whether a minor decides to continue her pregnancy or not, she should have a parent or trusted guardian beside her.
I must congratulate you for having had the kind of wonderful Norman Rockwell life where this is a scene between parents or trusted guardian and minor that is not only realistic but inevitable.
Unfortunately for you, 54.15% of California voters voted "NO".
I think they realized that some parents are WORSE than abortion. Those kinds of parents shouldn't be notified, because the more those kinds of parents get involved in anything, the more harmful the situation becomes for the child.
It's sad and terrible to say something like that, but it's a fact and we need to accept it and acknowledge it in our decisions about public policy.
