after all, the malia and sasha obamas of the world will ultimately be just fine.the malia washingtons or sasha smiths of the world that we have to worry about. >> this goes to what we were talking about last week, the concept of platinum citizenship, which is an economic status as much as it is anything else. >> right. >> and because we've watched the treasury secretary and george bush before and president obama subsequently sort of codify this platinum standard, where there are certain people who get certain things, in the government, in the banking system, and then everybody else gets porridge, it leaves us with a very interesting sort of problem-solving dynamic. because you do have racism, you do have sexism, you to have all sorts of discrimination, gender bias, or sexual orientation. at the same time, you have this fundamental line that's been drawn on class. >> right. >> which fight do you have first? or do you have all at once? >> the class one unites us all. i think it's starting to surpass a lot of things,

on behalf of my organization, i want to thank malia cohen for this ordinance. this is fundamentally a false advertising consumer protection issue. an impact on consumers is tangible. it is the difference between taking a pill or having an invasive procedure. there is no time to delay. the resources already exist. there is the bay area project. there is planned parenthood. we have the resources to advise women through the full natural spectrum of childbirth, and that includes birth, medically- indicated miscarriages, abortion. the need to protect women from false advertising is very important, especially considering that in the united states, we have over 10,000 pre-teens who are impregnated every year in the country. the difference between getting her a pill or an invasive procedure is absolutely urgent and important. i urge you to vote yes on this ordinance. supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker please. >> my name is summer lohan. we partner with an organization called change.org to get support for this ordinance. i just wanted to stand here in support of

thank you for doing this, malia. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is jamie wolf, vice president of public policy for the national council of jewish women. thank you for holding this hearing and giving us the opportunity to comment on this critical issue. we need judgment rooted in health, not in religious beliefs or secular beliefs. this is about women's health. honesty in health care is necessary for responsible choices. delays cause stress, monday, and health. we stand here with friends who are interested in truth, justice, and health of women in need of real truth and real choices in their own life. this is not just about one center. we are a beacon of legislative and world wide leaders for legislative initiatives. this is one of them. i strongly urge you to vote yes on this, and i stand here for the national council of jewish women. this is about health. thank you very much. supervisor elsbernd:supervisor . next speaker please. >> kristin cohen. misinformation on abortions is widespread individuals are often misled. some common areas of

i was thinking also about what this moment might be for sasha and malia obama.ith their own children. but it must be a particularly sort of important connection between those king children and these obama children in that they grew up in the shadow of a father who did great things, was not just criticized but ultimately assassinated. we don't expect that for president obama. but to be a child who loves a parent who has done great things but is also roundly criticized, i wonder if there is some advice, some giving of -- passing of some historical legacy from the king children to the obama children about what it will mean to grow up with the last name of obama as they did with king. >> it was a bumpy road for the king children. they didn't cruise to where they are now. they all had twists and turns and detours and failures as well as successes. it was a tough road for them. it's a difficult position. >> yeah. but you've got to wonder what malia and sasha must be thinking and how their father -- don't you love thinking about what the president of the united states/
