...and the outcome
Well, fortunately the majority of voters in California have more common sense than Ms. So.
I grew up in a state with a parental notification law. I went to high school with a girl whose parents were Iranian immigrants. She got pregnant, and was afraid that "her father would kill her" if he found out that she was pregnant (regardless of what she decided to do about it). She hid the pregnancy, gave birth secretly, and left the baby in the latrine of a public park. The baby died. She went to jail.
Yep, letting her choose abortion on her own would have been SOOOO much worse.
