A reminder and great resource from NARAL Pro-Choice California:
Electing pro-choice candidates is the single most important thing you can do to protect your right to choose. So before you go into the voting booth on November 2, find out where candidates stand on reproductive rights issues with the NARAL Pro-Choice California Reproductive Rights Voter Guide.Anti-choice legislators have done all they can to undermine reproductive freedom in California. In the past few years, they've tried to promote abstinence-only programs, restrict access to emergency contraception and infringe on young women's right to obtain confidential medical services. The pro-choice majority in the California legislature has been able to fend off these attacks on our freedoms - but unless we dedicate ourselves to electing pro-choice candidates, they may not be able to in the future.
Click here to find out which candidates in your district are pro-choice. On November 2, protect your rights by voting pro-choice!
In my district, Peg Pinard (State Senate, 15) and Ira Ruskin (State House, 21) both score as Pro-Choice. Pinard has been endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice California, her opponent has refused to respond to the questionnaire.
Don't know what district you are in? SmartVoter.org is still my favorite general California election info site. Just put in your address and zip code and it will create a personalized page with your polling place and all of the races you'll have a chance to vote on. Plus it has links and information for all of the people and propositions.
