As a Mother and a Doctor, I’ll Vote No on 85.

Dr. Anne Foster-Rosales is the Chief Medical Officer for Planned Parenthood Golden Gate.

As a mother, I know that parents rightfully want to be involved in the lives of their teens. As a Planned Parenthood doctor, I counsel teens to speak with their parents, to seek their support and guidance in all situations...when they are thinking about becoming sexually active, when they are seeking birth control or when they want to terminate an unintended pregnancy. Unfortunately, the reality is that not all teens can safely turn to a parent in these situations. And that's why I'm voting No on proposition 85.
