This Tuesday, Grassfire is urging ALL Oregon team members to
vote in favor of Measure 43--The Parental Notification Law
that requires a parent or legal guardian be notified 48
before a minor can have an abortion.
Conflicting reports regarding the proposal's language
concerning rape and incest and the judicial bypass
provision have some confused.
A television spot is gaining notoriety for misleading many.
In it, a fictional father receives a certified letter
notifying him of his daughter's pregnancy. He turns
angrily toward his daughter, who cowers nearby. The ad
tells voters that Measure 43 makes no exceptions for
rape and incest, "puts at-risk teens in greater danger"
and is "not safe."
This ad is misleading, and fails to mention the Measure's
judicial bypass--a safeguard that would enable girls in
certain circumstances to forgo parental notification and
would encourage the detection of abuse.
Keep in mind groups like Planned Parenthood are vehemently
opposed to Measure 43, and are pumping millions of dollars
into a campaign to defeat the measure.

Grassfire is urging members of our Oregon team to help
rally the needed votes for passage of Measure 43--
The Parental Notification Law.
When parental permission slips are required for students
taking class trips, it makes no sense that a minor child
should be able to have an abortion--a dangerous medical
procedure, without her parents being informed!
Help stop the madness, and support Measure 43.
Please alert your friends today.
