Anyone else (in California, anyway) getting automated phone calls supporting Proposition 73, the one that would require parental notification for abortions on minors?

Hehe. Well, I think they ideally want their daughters not to have sex, or if they do, to tell them about it so they can freak out and ground them for life and such. :~P
