Monaghan is a regular contributor to right-wing organizations and has given to anti-abortion Operation Rescue, an elite Legatus catholic business group, and ultraconservative Ave Maria Catholic College. Clearly, Proposition 73 is not moderate. Rather, it is a tool of the anti-abortion right wing. Thirty-four states have parental involvement laws. Thirty-four states have laws that can kill women like Becky Bell. Young women in California currently may obtain safe and sanitary abortions without risking physical, emotional, or sexual injury.

They’re partly right; their disenchanted liberal voters won’t, in all likeli- hood; vote for a third party, but they also might not vote at all, they certainly won’t donate, or campaign for a candidate whom they feel does not share their beliefs.
