Prop 85

So Proposition 85 lost. Again. Fairly handily. When it lost last time, I assumed that many people didn't quite understand it because of the tremendous spin the pro-abortion folks put on the campaign. But this time the pro-85 ads were clear, straightforward. I have to assume people understood it. So I have to believe Californians believe that a 12 years old girl should be able to kill her own children without their parents' knowledge. That they should be able to go through a life-alterring event without the comfort and support of their parents if they're afraid to seek it. Which is common. What teenager that screwed up big time is not afraid to tell their parents? But for the vast majority of parents, that's exactly when they come to their support, instead of yelling at them as expected. What we're seeing is fallout from the collapse of the traditional family. The majority of voting Californians think the school nurse (do they still exist?) is a more trusted counselor during the biggest crisis of a girl's life than her parents. They seem to think they can just go to Planned Parenthood and have the child removed like a wart, then everything will go back to the way it was. God is not mocked. I'm sad for my state and for the girls this will hurt. And soberly fearful. God cannot bless this.
