A proposed law in California has come to my attention twice in the past 24 hours - once through a forwarded email from The Word Among Us and once from an article at California Catholic. It is an abortion family notification bill, requiring that a family member be informed of a pending abortion by a minor. It is named for a girl who went to get an abortion and died because of the procedure. When she left that day no one in her family knew what was about to happen. No one knew she was going for a medical procedure. No one had the chance to save her. This bill prevents the shame that so many girls fell from ruining or even ending their lives. Make no mistake, the forces of death will be against this. Destroying the unborn at all costs is their mission. Destroying lives is what they do.
Last year a parental notification bill was defeated in California. This is not the same as a parent notification bill. The abortionists like to talk about how a parental notification law would require revelation of an abortion to an abusive parent. Many of us see this as the ploy that it is. But the last parental notification bill was defeated because of this argument. The folks behind Sarah’s Law took that to heart and while a parent or guardian may be notified, Sarah’s Law also provides that, if a minor girl is from a home with abusive parents, the doctor may instead notify another adult family member (for example, an aunt, grandmother, or sibling over twenty-one years old) of the pending abortion.
To get on the ballot, Sarah’s Law needs to get 700,000 signatures of registered voters in the State of California. For those out of California and the US, please pray for this initiative. For those in California who read this, go to www.friendsofsarah.org for more information. You can also click here to download copies of the petition forms. If your registered to vote in California, sign the petition and get others to sign it as well.
Finally, anyone can donate to those promoting this by going to http://www.friendsofsarah.com/donate.aspx
