As a rule, alternative weekly newspapers aren't exactly bastions of conservatism. They tend to lean left - sometimes far to the left - and advocate progressive causes. Then there's the San Diego Reader. Its publisher and founder, Jim Holman, is a leading player in California's anti-abortion movement, and KPBS says he's once again "involved" in an initiative that would require doctors to notify parents, except in special cases, when minors seek abortions.
The story doesn't specify Holman's involvement this time around. He bankrolled three parental-notification initiatives in the past five years, and they all failed. In 2006, the U-T reported that he'd spent $3.5 million on such initiatives within the previous two years and said the Reader didn't accept personal ads forgays or ads for abortion clinics and strip clubs.
