A Deadly Back-Room Deal: California's Biggest Union Opposes Parental Involvment in Abortion Decisions

This is really sad news.

The Democrats who control the California Labor Federation have announced that their union is not only going to jump into the abortion fray, but that they're going to begin with an official opposition to Proposition 85, a ballot initiative that would require doctors to notify parents before performing abortions on minors. Furthermore, the leaders said they're going to push their "big brother", the national AFL-CIO ''to reconsider its position of neutrality on the issue.''

The CLF represents more than 2.1 million workers in over a thousand unions.
