proposition 4.

Prop 4 wants Minor’s to have a parents consent about getting an abortion in other words you can have an abortion unless you have your mom/dad/guardians permission and if the doctor does an abortion to a minor with out the parent knowing they will take there doctors license's away. I think this is a bad proposition because a person has the right over making a choice and if they want to have an abortion it will not had to have her mothers consent. If i was the mother of a girl i wouldn't like to know that my daughter had an abortion i would just want her to do it and me not know.
