Bobby writes for No on 85 - the Campaign for Real Teen Safety.
Editor's note: This begins our coverage of California Proposition 85, which would prohibit abortions for California teens until 48 hours after their parents have been notified.
Just in case you thought the fight over Prop. 85 [img_assist|nid=586|title=Dr. Laura|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=85|height=100]wasn't being watched carefully by conservatives across the country, Dr. Laura Schlessinger clarified the issue for all of us. In an op-ed that ran in the Santa Barbara News Press last month, Dr. Laura—famous for her vitriolic rants and spastic advice—suggested Planned Parenthood is somehow threatening the future well-being of our daughters.
"Kids are traumatized by so many things: pimples, fat, learning problems in school, bullying and so forth," Schlessinger wrote. "I don't think it helps our daughters' future well-being to have the memory of terminating the lives of their never-first-born children… But this is exactly what Planned Parenthood and the League of Women Voters want for your daughter: that indelible, ugly memory for the rest of her life."
