Abortion-Notification Measure Critics File Lawsuit
A lawsuit, co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood Affiliates, was filed Friday asking the secretary of state to remove the story of a 15-year-old girl and other material from the official voter guide for an abortion-notification ballot measure. Supporters of Proposition 4 acknowledged that the death of "Sarah" for which "Sarah's Law" is named might not have been prevented because she had a child and was in a common-law marriage.
