Signature gathering campaign for Parental consent ballot measure begins
The Alaskans for Parental Rights campaign began Thursday night, a quest to place the issue of parental consent for minors to have an abortion before Alaska voters. The event kicked off minus one of the star speakers that had been advertised for weeks — former Gov. Sarah Palin. But a very vocal right-to-life advocate made her pitch to Alaskan voters at ChangePoint Church — Star Parker, a nationally known crusader, was here to stir the faithful. “I was using abortion as my birth control,” Parker said.
