The War with Iraq continues to get the majority of the media's attention.Edith, it's been over one week since the first bombs fell in Bagdhad, does war continue to be the major topic of conversation?

Daily life does go on despite the war. This week over 200 bills were up before the New Hampshire house. One of the most controversial pieces of legislation before representatives was the parental notification bill. It would require parental notification before an abortion can be performed on a minor. Here's some debate from both sides. |
| Parental Consent Return to index of stories... |
tape 2 15:56:11 The young women who are afraid to talk to their parents - they're reluctant to do so, not only because they don't want to be chastised but they also don't want to disappoint their parents. They don't want to face the anger, they don't want to hurt their parents. These are the ones who could most benefit by bringing a parent's mature experience and bringing their perspective to bear on the situation on behalf of their daughters. For those who have a legitimate reason for not involving their parents, we have provided a judicial bypass. tape 2 15:42:27 Almost 2/3 of young women who seek abortion do tell their parents. Of the 1/3 of young women who do not consult with a parent, most ask the advice from another trusted adult - an aunt, an older sister, a grandparent, or clergy. Unfortunately, however, HB763 does not allow for these confidences. |

Tape 5 12:46:30 Bird's eye view from33,000 feet, we are looking at a $60 million biennial hole in the budget. If you figure that at about $30 million a year, it's a little bit less than a 3% problem per year. If that's helpful - and that's on the general fund only - I'm not dealing with the highway fund, or federal funds, or the fish and game fund or any of the other funds we have. |
