Wednesday, May 9, 2012 Announcement 
Due to unforeseeable and adverse circumstances, the campaign to qualify the 2012 Parental Notification Constitutional Amendment initiative did not obtain a sufficient number of signatures of registered voters to qualify for the November 2012 ballot.

“We are extremely grateful to all those who distributed and circulated petitions to gather signatures and contributed to the campaign, especially pastors who promoted signature gathering in their parishes and churches,” said Astrid Bennet Gutierrez, Chairwoman of Californians for Parental Rights.  

Thirty-seven states now have parental involvement laws in effect.  These laws have proven effective in deterring sexual exploitation of minor girls as shown by reductions in pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases among minor children.  

Montana voters will have the opportunity to vote for a Parental Notification measure on the November 6, 2012 ballot.  Montana could then be the thirty-eighth state to enjoy the benefits of a Parental Notification law.  

Qualifying and passing a Parental Notification Amendment is of crucial importance in California because approximately 20,000 abortions per year are performed on minor girls in California, which is approximately 20% of all abortions performed on minor girls in the USA.

Because of the lack of a Parental Notification law in California, minor girls, especially poor, minority, and immigrant girls, are vulnerable to sexual abuse and exploitation by older male predators who can cover up their crimes with secret abortions and then  continue the sexual exploitation.

Minors in California also suffer from very high rates of sexually transmitted diseases.

California state government provides state taxpayer funding to perform secret abortions on minor children without parental notification.  

We will continue the fight to protect young girls from the dangers of secret abortions.As we plan for the future, Californians for Parental Rights will continue to be accessible at this website.

Californians for Parental Rights wishes to express gratitude to everyone who has helped and contributed to this long-term and on-going campaign to end the abomination of secret abortions performed on minor girls in California.

Working together, we shall persevere!  

With God’s help we must and we shall succeed!

In California, a girl under age 18 can’t get a cavity filled, or an aspirin dispensed by the school nurse without a parent knowing.

But a doctor can perform an abortion on a young girl without informing a parent.

On a daily basis, older men exploit young girls and use secret abortions to cover up their crimes. 

States which have laws protecting parental rights have experienced real reductions in pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases among young girls.
