Proposition 73 Debate
Prop 73 would require a waiting period and parental notification for most minors seeking an abortion. This measure will appear on the November 8th California special election ballot. On Thursday night Larry Mantle hosted a debate on Prop 73 at the Studio City Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. Panelists included Martha Swiller, Executive Vice President, Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, and Mike Spence, spokesman for California Parent's Right Committee. The audience was invited to submit questions.
