November 4, 2008, was a triumphant day for traditional marriage.  Voters in California, Arizona, and Florida approved amendments to their state’s constitution defining marriage as being between one man and one woman.  This was a huge victory for marriage and the preservation of religious liberty in America.

Proposition 4 will amend the California Constitution to require doctors to notify an adult family member (within) 48 hours before performing an abortion on an unemancipated minor.
