Proposition 8 is simple and straightforward. It contains the same 14 words that were previously approved in 2000 by over 61% of California voters: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
Because four activist judges in San Francisco wrongly overturned the people’s vote, we need to pass this measure as a constitutional amendment to restore the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.
Voting YES on Proposition 8 does 3 simple things:
- It restores the definition of marriage to what the vast majority of California voters already approved and what Californians agree should be supported, not undermined.
- It overturns the outrageous decision of four activist Supreme Court judges who ignored the will of the people.
- It protects our children from being taught in public schools that “same-sex marriage” is the same as traditional marriage, and prevents other consequences to Californians who will be forced to not just be tolerant of gay lifestyles, but face mandatory compliance regardless of their personal beliefs.

Proposition 1A – Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21st Century
Passage of Proposition 1A, the Safe, Reliable High-Speed Passenger Train Bond Act of the 21st Century, asks California voters to approve the issuance of a $9.95 billion general obligation bond to partially fund the development of a high-speed train system proposed by the High-Speed Rail Authority.
CA Family Council Position: NO
CFC Analysis
Proposition 2 – Treatment of Farm Animals
Proposition 2, the Standards for Confining Farm Animals Statute, would prohibit the confinement of certain farm animals in a manner that does not allow them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up and fully extend their limbs. The initiative specifically addresses the use of veal crates, battery cages, and sow gestation crates.
CA Family Council Position: NO
CFC Analysis
Proposition 3 – Children’s Hospital Bond Act. Grant Program
Passage of Proposition 3, the Children’s Hospital Bond Act of 2008, would allow the state to sell $980 million in general obligation bonds to finance or refinance construction, expansion, equipment, or remodeling at eligible state children’s hospitals.

Proposition 4 – Adult Family Member Notification Prior to a Minor’s Abortion
WHY ROBYN NORDELL OPPOSES PROP 4
Robyn's Comments on Prop 4:
Proposition 4 is the latest version of a "parental notification" proposition. While well-intentioned, Prop 4 has the potential of causing great long-term harm to overall parental rights in California (outside of the area of abortion), and causing innocent parents to become much more susceptible to false allegations of abuse or neglect - both on a small and large scale.
With so many examples of judicial activism and a growing bias against Judeo-Christian values and the traditional family, I believe that it would be short-sighted and very unwise for conservatives to give activist judges and liberal child-rights activists the tools, inadvertently provided by Prop 4, to use against good, innocent families in California. The unintended, long-term negative consequences of putting some of the wording from Prop 4 into the state constitution would vastly outweigh the sought-after benefits. Click HERE for information on HOW and WHY I believe this to be true.
Proposition 4 would require a doctor performing an abortion to notify the parents of a minor seeking an abortion. Should a girl allege parental “abuse,” another adult relative could be notified instead.
CA Family Council Position: YES
CFC FULL ANALYSIS IS HERE
Excerpt from CA Family Council Analysis (bolding is from CFC):
“Proposition 4 is largely a pro-life, parental-authority measure that attempts to protect young girls who seek abortions without their parents’ knowledge. Both the protection of the preborn and the preservation of parental authority are foundational to the beliefs and mission of California Family Council. Our decision to support Proposition 4 did not come without great prayer and consideration. There are those within the pro-life, pro-family community, whom we greatly respect, who are opposed to Proposition 4 due to differences between it and its predecessors – Propositions 73 and 85. These changes could logically and conceivably affect the issue of parental authority in future court decisions. While we recognize these potentials, CFC believes that, if lives can be saved, we must support the passage of Proposition 4. (Please read the alternative, dissenting opinion below* [within the linked analysis] for information on that position.)”
