LETTERS Noon 10 We urge all pro-choice voters to vote oo on Measure 10. which requires doctors to no tify one parent of girls aged 15 to 17 stroking abortions Moder ate voters on the abortion may be swayed by misinformation from the "Yes on 10” cam paign Here are some facts For girls to qualify for the no tification exceptions the rape or incest must in; reported within 10 days of its occurrence. Since only one in 10 rapes is report ed. and even less frequently for incest, most girls will not qual ify for the exceptions. Measure 10 does not address the needs of pregnant girls in less-than-ideal family situa tions. All similar laws nation wide allow pregnant teenagers to request a notification excep tion from a judge Measure 10. however, does not. If passed, it will Ik; the most restrictive pa rental notification law in the country. Measure 10 will suspend the license of doctors who lail to comply with its notification re quirements. Also, doctors will face stiff fines which cannot L>e insured against. Without access to safe, confidential medical (.are, Oregon teens will face dangerous and deadly options abusive adults or illegal abortions The Oregon Medical Association strongly opposes Measure 10. Communication between par ents and teens is an important goal Most pregnant girls vol untarily tell their parents How ever. Measure 10 does not fur ther this goal for those who cannot. The informed pro-choice is a no vote on Measure 10 lackie Corduv Six co-signers Women's l.aw Forum Not far enough 1 like Measure 11. the one that increases educational choice 1 think that many of those who oppose it are more interested in education,il bu reaucracy than in individual children There is. however, one thing wrong with Measure 1 I It lets parents have ta\ breaks for sending their children to sc hools like be c lesiastic :a, the one in California where an H year-old girl was beaten to death and many other students were regularly beaten The Oregon legislature has recently banned corporal pun ishment from the public schools. And maybe psvc holog ical abuse will also be seriouslv addressed soon But what about the private schools? Measure 11 is lacking a clause that the non-public schools that benefit must have at least the same standards for protecting children from abuse as the public schools. The cur rent standards for ensuring a child's physical and psycholog ical safety in the public sc hools may lie Improved to further protect children Measure 1 1 needs to require non public schooling to be involved to match or better any improve ments. Children are hurt enough as it is Let's not vote for a imsis ure that increases parents abil ity to gamble with the*ir c lul dren's lives without any safe guards. lad s hold out for a [let ter Measure 1 1 one that in eludes the- provisions I men tinned As an adult having parents with high degrees and an ob session with academic superi ority. I know from experience that a beaten spirit is much harder to salvage than anv missing knowledge or skill.
