Parental Rights Advocate Jim Holman Backs Poizner For Governor

Republican candidate for governor Steve Poizner today announced his support for the California Parental Notification Initiative. If passed, the initiative would change the California Constitution to prohibit a minor from having an abortion until the physician notifies the minor’s parent or legal guardian. The initiative provides exceptions for a medical emergency, parental waiver, or parental abuse.

“As a leader in the parental notification movement, I strongly believe that Steve Poizner is the only candidate in the race for governor who will stand up for the goals of the parental notification movement and work to protect the safety of minors,” said Jim Holman, Newspaper Publisher and Parental Rights Advocate. “Steve Poizner’s endorsement of the parental notification initiative further reinforces my strong support for Steve’s candidacy and proves that, unlike other candidates, Steve Poizner is willing to take a clear stand on issues that matter to social conservatives.”

Holman joins Don Sebastiani, former member of the California State Assembly and another leader in the parental notification movement, in endorsing Steve Poizner for governor because of his principled stand on the California Parental Notification Initiative and other issues of importance to values voters.

“I believe that we should work to drive the number of abortions in California down to zero,” said Commissioner Poizner. “As a father, I fully support parental notification and I strongly urge voters on all sides of this issue to come together to back this important initiative.”
