Election Day is just weeks away and the statewide ballot will be a challenge with 13 propositions to read, figure out, and decide. TV campaign ads can be deceptive, so we’ll provide both sides of several of these propositions before November 7. Full Focus takes a closer look at Proposition 85, the Parental Notice Initiative.

Host Gloria Penner talks with advocates of the campaigns for and against the amendment.
