Blog: I Will Not Be Voting for Bob Blumenfield
Abortion, while not on Nov ballot, exists in proposed or existing laws: to the extent of funding with taxpayer money, deregulation of those allowed to perform this risky procedure, & parental rights.
1. There exists an interesting law within the California Civil Code: Section 43...

"The scaled-back version that became law extends until January 1, 2014, a controversial pilot project that allows “medical providers” who’ve been trained at Planned Parenthood and Kaiser Permanente clinics under a special program run by the University of California at San Francisco’s Bixby Center to perform these first-trimester abortions"

The issue of abortion, while not on the ballot in Nov '12, exists in the laws which are being proposed, voted upon, and enacted; to the extent of extending the long reaching arm of power, control, funding with taxpayer money, and deregulation of the medical community allowed to perform this risky procedure.
There is a SFV State Assembly candidate, running for State Assembly & City Council with a 100% rating by Naral/Planned Parenthood.
I will not be voting for him either time. As chairman of the California Budget Committee he has too much power to be allowed access to funds to promote abortion at taxpayer cost.
