6. well there's so much. to be honest, I think that some of your beliefs are good. some I don't agree with. I am against same sex marriage. so I would say yes on prop 8. I think it would be good to have parental conscent before their child decides to have an abortion. I think it would be good to stop gang violence. I agree that there should be equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender.
