Finally, someone recognizes that things are pretty bad here -- bad to the point where business as usual doesn't work. Too bad the politicians can't come to a similar realization and stop the sniping.

Conventional political sentiment tells us that we are either for a particular proposition, or against it. We are told to support Proposition 8 if we believe in traditional marriage, or against if we believe in equality.

Proposition 8 is a Constitutional amendment initiative that eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry within the state. Defines marriage as only between one man and one woman. The proposition is a reaction to a May 2008 Supreme Court ruling that struck down a 2000 law that restricted same sex couples from marriage under the equal protection clause of the California Constitution.

In that time, a physician, assumably the one that would perform said abortion, or his/her legal representative must notify the parent or guardian of the girl seeking the operation.

Proposition 3 authorizes the sale of $980,000,000 in bonds, which will be guaranteed by the State General Fund, for the purpose of granting funds to California's 13 children's hospitals.
