Summary
The Sentinel is in support of this proposition. Children's hospitals save hundreds of children's lives every day. Proposition 3 would allow these hospitals to keep serving severely ill children without raising taxes, Chilcjren's hospitals do not have enough room to handle the growing number of seriously ill and injured children. Proposition 3 would allow hospitals to build more bed capacity and buy essential equipment and the latest medical technology.
The Sentinel does not support this proposition. Not all teens live in homes where communication is possibleespecially regarding sex and pregnancy. If teens can't go to their parents, they must still be kept safe. If Proposition 4 passes, instead of seeks ing counseling and the safe medical care she needs, a pregnant minor may seek illegal, unsafe abortions, or even consider suicide. Similar proposals were rejected by voters in 2005 and 2006.The Sentinel does not support this proposition. The 'Three Strikes Law" and the "Victims Bill of Rights" already give victims the right to be notified if their offender is released, to receive advance notice of criminal proceedings, and to participate in parole hearings and sentencing. Proposition 9 is a drain on taxpayers during the height of a budget crisis. What limited money the state has should go to education, healthcare, and other state services.Proposition 4-Would amend the California constitution to require a doctor to notify a parent or legal guardian, or other adult family member if abuse within the family is reported, 48 hours before performing an abortion on a girl who is under 18 years old The Sentinel does not support this proposition.
