California Voters Favor Parental Notification for Abortion

According to a recent poll by Survey USA, California voters favor Proposition 73 by a margin of 60% to 38%.

The language of the question seems fairly straight forward.

"First, Proposition 73. Proposition 73 requires that physicians notify the parent of a pregnant minor at least 48 hours before performing an abortion. If the special election were today, and you were standing in the voting booth right now, would you vote Yes on Proposition 73? Or would you vote No?"

The cross tab of the poll shows that 83% of Republicans, 43% of Democrats, 44% of pro-choicers, 70% of Blacks and 71% of Hispanics approve this measure. Oddly, 10% of the individuals who called themselves "Pro-Life" aren't in favor of this bill.

You wonder how tough it will be for pro-choice organizations like NARAL and Planned Parenthood to claim that they represent the majority of Americans when the majority of Americans in one of America's most pro-choice states vote in favor of what they oppose.
