In a perfect world daughters would come to their mothers like my daughter did. We made it to the pharmacy in record time. In a perfect world no daughter would have to be afraid to go to her parents. We don't live in a perfect world. I can understand where your friend is coming from. I know I would have been heartbroken if my daughter had not come to me.

The religious right in California keeps trying to get parental concent for abortions. I argued with the petition signature gatherer which I probably shouldn't have done. I told her when the religious right could guarentee no woman would ever be raped or beaten when she told parents of her pregnancy or incest wpuld never happen I would sign.

Our young women need to be protected.
