For Parents and Grandparents! -
California allows minor females to get abortions without their parents’ knowledge. This is not just killing a human being. It creates a major wall of mistrust between the daughter and her parents. It also can do serious harm to the girl’s sense of conscience and self-worth. Studies show that laws to require parental notification before a minor can get an abortion result in dramatic declines in teen abortion. While not stopping abortion on demand, this is a big step in the right direction. The drive to put repeal on the ballot—so citizens can decide if this immoral law continues—has until March 15, 2016 to collect signatures. We want every member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel to think about this matter. We’ll place petition forms and a box to put completed forms in the narthex. PLEASE give this serious thought. It can affect your daughter’s or granddaughter’s life.
