"Sarah's Law" is the third attempt to get California voters to say yes to parental notification. But there is no "Sarah" and government mandated parental notification won't improve communication between parents and teens.

Although it's hard to imagine the American public tolerating the medical neglect of women in the name of protecting life, Colorado's Amendment 48 would use the force of law to ensure that women give birth to non-viable babies rather than aborting them.
