Propositions 4, 6, and 8 will be detrimental to the Asian American community. I've put a link to Asian Communities for Reproductive Justice and their voter guide with info on those three props.As for Proposition 4, Senator Yee's scenario is just the tip of the iceberg. In real situations, women are dealing with difficult issues, such as violence in the home, where notifying the parents would put them in harms way.When I did resources counseling near Sacramento, I knew a woman who had been molested by her only brother. Both of her parents had severe health problems, to the point that she realistically feared that the stress of her telling her parents would be physically detrimental. The last thing she wanted was to feel responsible for the death of a parent.Proposition 4 supposedly allows for the notification of another family member, but here's the catch. She would have to write down and detail how her parents had abused her, triggering a Child Protective Services report. Then notify another family member over 21. And for this young woman, she had no other family in the United States.Proponents of Proposition 4 also think that judicial bypass takes care of the rest. But on top of all that this woman was dealing with, she was terrified of telling her story to Americans of other ethnicities (doctors, counselors, judges, etc.) because she felt that it would make them look down on people of her ethnic group and contribute to a further marginalization of her people in the United States.Stories like this woman's are not uncommon. They are hard for many women to share, but that doesn't mean these situations aren't happening to real women.For the white, male, religious conservative, multi-millionaire proponents of this initiative, the situation of being a young, pregnant woman of color has never and will never be their reality.Prop 4 is a horrible initiative that would really endanger the safety of Asian American young women.Rather than endangering our sisters, we need to trust them as they grow into their independence. We need to realize that we can never know the intricacies of what each young woman is dealing with. Most importantly, we need to be there for them if they reach out to us for support.Don't use your vote against a sister. Vote no on Prop. 4.
