Oregon voters make 2006 a year of 'no' (no on Parental Notification)

".....Voters also turned down a proposal to require parental notification when girls ages 15 to 17 seek abortions. And they decided against reviving limits on the terms of state representatives and senators....Measure 43, which would require abortion providers to give 48 hours' notice to parents of many minors, lost by about 8 percentage points. Polling in September showed the measure winning easily, but No on 43 spokeswoman Nancy Bennett said the more voters learned about the proposal, the less they liked it. She said results showed Oregonians don't like the government getting involved in intimate family decisions. "They were very uncomfortable with this," she said

Anybody who thought we had the Culture of Death on the run was kidding himself. Before long, the Dems will make another big push for euthanasia too. And why not? It's the European Way.

[scottdeus12]

I'm outraged by this. Are you under age in this state and want an abortion....BY ALL MEANS!!! And, we don't even have to tell your parents..."

I love this state, but hate the liberal culture of death......

[The Iceman Cometh]

don't like the government getting involved in intimate family decisions

So if the govt says the family can't be notified...aahhh, crap I give up....

[Jeff Chandler]

Never underestimate the madness of the left. It is like a cancer in the culture.

[weegee]

Why start the notification at age 15? 13 year olds get abortions too.

Can't get a tattoo or even a piercing, but go ahead and end a life, it'll be our little secret.

the pro-life and conservative cuase in general got a big blow yesterday, a huge blow.

[weegee]

They won't even report who the male was who impregnated them contrary to all laws of reporting incidents of child abuse.

"Never underestimate the madness of the left. It is like a cancer in the culture"

It really makes me sick.

"the pro-life and conservative cuase in general got a big blow yesterday, a huge blow."

Yeah. It sure is a good thing "conservatives" sat out the election yesterday. They really taught the country a lesson.

Thank God our Prop. 86 (if I remember correctly)passed here
in CA. But it was (at least to me) by an astonishingly thin margin. 51 to 48 or so.

[Anti-Hillary]

The "cut and runs" make me sick. They have blood on their hands. Add them to the ex-Californians that have screwed up this state and that's how we got here.

It blows my mind that this would even be close, let alone a blow-out. I am ill!

[AD from SpringBay]

Young liberals who don't have children and the NEA it-takes-a-village 'true believers' got this one.

[wolfcreek]

Oregon voters are going too ..............hell.......in a handbasket.

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Thank God our Prop. 86...passed here in CA.

Prop 86, the $2.60/pack cig tax, LOST:

Propositions 86 N Cigarette Tax YES 3,212,678 47.9% NO 3,493,227 52.1%

Thank God ....

And that's exactly what happened in Oregon; in the metro area, Washington County had a 21% turnout, Multnomah County a 41% turnout, and Clackamas County a 37% turnout. The state average was 47%. Consequently a Rat state government from top to bottom and government sponsored health care for all. And a promise from the reelected incompetent guv to make his next priority...GLOBAL WARMING. I can provide a link to the numbers.
I am really spitting mad at the no-shows, but, I will survive it as I did the Carter and Clintoon misadministrations(head down, powder dry, and pester the heck out of the enemies flanks).

[crazyhorse691]

I forgot to mention that Oregon votes by mail(except for 36 polling stations set up one per county). Accidently forgetting or the hassle ain't an excuse...the dog ate my ballot doesn't wash either.

"I will survive it as I did the Carter and Clintoon misadministrations(head down, powder dry, and pester the heck out of the enemies flanks)."

Same. With the full understanding that some of those "enemies" claim to be the good guys. With friends like them....
