| Intro Parental Notification Return to index of stories... |
But first - Should a pregnant girl who wants an abortion be forced to tell her parents? That's the question before the state senate next week. The bill was hotly debated and amended Tuesday in a Senate committee. We'll have reaction in a moment, but first Richard Ager takes us to the hearing. |

soundup; tape 2 12;00:06 This is my daughter and son that I had in my 40s. I was sent to an abortion clinic both times and told to get rid of them. soundup: tape 1 11:56:10 When I was a teenager, my birth control method failed and I became pregnant. But I was able to make the most personal and consequential decision of my life without the undignified intrusion of my parents or a judge. I made one mistake and I did not want to compound it with more severe mistakes that would adversely affect my life. Track: It can be difficult to form a meeting of minds when the heart has already decided what is right. soundup: tape 1 00:06:55 We have a crisis on our hands senators. Track: First-year representative John Kerns wrote the bill that would require parental notification before an abortion could be performed on a minor. Bite; tape 1 00;02:55 It is neither pro-choice nor prolife, creating a resolution for every parent under its purview and creating a simple procedure in the courts for those girls who have good cause not to be subjected to this requirement. House Bill 763 is a reasonable request made by the parents of this state, joining forces with 26 other states because, to the delight of all, this is common sense. Why do you think we mail home report cards, senators? Because we can't always trust a child's judgement to reveal a mistake to their parents. soundup: legislature 3-25-03 tape 16:18:47 "187 in the affirmative." Track: The bill passed the House by 6 votes in March and has the governor's support. Bite; tape 1 00:11:30 The state of NH does not love any of our children. Our parents do. So let's give our parents who love those children the right to weigh in on a very, very important decision. And let's do it soon. Track: Benson's support leaves the Senate as the last place for opponents of the bill to make their case. Bite: tape 1 00:2210 This will provide more roadblocks for the young lady. And that has severe consequences, I believe, that not encouraging them to seek help from others in their family or other individuals will result in more dangerous endings to the pregnancy, Or if they choose to go through with the pregnancy, less healthy mothers and less healthy babies. Let's not here in NH fall to the siren song of simple solutions. Track: Parental notification bills have been tried before and failed. This time, supporters worked to make the issue one of parent's rights and the welfare of the child, and brought in a legal expert to argue their case. Bite; tape 2 11:13:16 The national abortion federation, an association of abortion providers have noted that the two most common post-abortion complications are hemoraeg and infection. Both of those are complications that may manifest themselves within the post-abortion process of 3-4 hours, but may not manifest themselves for 3-4 days. They may show up as a temperature or as heavy bleeding. Well, a young girl who has not told her parents may think 'well, this is the flu - I don't feel well', and may simply try to pass it off as the flu. A mother or father who knows that their child has had an abortion will not be so comforted so easily, and in fact will say 'no, we've got to get in and have this checked out.' Track: These arguments seem to be having an impact in defining this issue. standup: parental notification tape 3 13:22:58 or 13:23:46 or 13:24:125 A recent poll by the UNH survey center shows that a majority of NH residents do favor a requirement for parental consent before an underage abortion. That's an even more stringent requirement than the notification called for in the bill. Yet an even bigger majority in the same poll say they support a woman's right to choose. Bite: tape 1 00:25:08 The reality is, this bill is part of a grander scheme to restrict access to abortion. I have even heard supporters of this bill publicy acknowledge this. Over the past few years, all you have to do is look at the record of the bills that have been introduced by these same representatives: creating waiting periods, establishing fetal rights in an attempt to undermine the legality of abortions, prohibiting certain procedures. Track: It is now up to this committee and the full senate to decide what the defining issues are in this measure, and whether to pass it. For NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |
| Parental Notif. tag Return to index of stories... |
After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary committee voted 3-2 to amend the parental notification bill. The amendment requires abortion providers to offer counselling on all options to underage females seeking an abortion. It also removes the legal requirement to notify the parents. The full Senate takes up this issue next week - and could decide to restore parental notification to the bill. |
| Intro Discussion Return to index of stories... |
Joining us are Representative John Kerns, Republican of Bedford and prime sponsor of the parental notification bill; Rep. Terie Norelli, Democrat of Portsmouth and Co-chair of the Reproductive Rights Caucus; and Andy Smith, director of the Survey Center at the University of New Hampshire. Thank you all for being here. |
| Intro Rock & Roll Return to index of stories... |
How involved are today's parents in their teenagers lives? One New Hampshire Police Chief thinks they should spend more time talking with their teens AND listening to their music. Theresa Kennett explains why. |
| Rock & Roll Return to index of stories... |
Labell Lecture at 1:31:14 98% of parents in this country don't want their children smoking marijuana. I applaud those parents, thank you very much. But only 40% of those parents bothered to tell their children that. Richard Labell is the Chief of Police in Wolfeboro. But recently, when he addressed this group of parents and school counselors in Conway, he wasn't talking about his experience in law enforcement, he was talking about the power of rock and roll. Labell Lecture at 34:08 How bout this one right here name this tune form me - plays josie 00:30 Laura Schoen of Carroll County Mediation Mr. Labell has done a lot of presentations on how to communicate better with your teenager through something that most of them love and that's music. Carroll County Mediation partnered with Kennett High school to sponsor Labell's presentation "It's Only Rock and Roll… Or is it? Shoen at 15:07 He's extensively researched the history of rock and roll and their effect on society. Labell interview at 2:34 I have a passion for children and I took my passion for children and I matched it with my passion for music and I came up with these programs. Cover with 34:00; 41:17 During this 90 minute presentation, Labell took his audience on a musical journey from the 60's to the present, demonstrating the evolution of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Nats of M&M's rapping music at 1:15:13 Labell Lecture at 24:28 - 25:19 Its those messages today that we as parents, law enforcment officials, child care advocates have to be more concerned with. Because we have some musicians out there telling our kids - hey kid come here, you want smoke marijuana, you want to snort cocaine, you want to shoot some heroin, I've got it all in my song. And kid come here, are those kids dissing you in school and you are on the outside looking in, and you just can't deal with it anymore you don't fit in, I've got an answer for you. Pick up a club, pick up a knife, pick up a gun and blow them away. And if that doesn't solve the problem and the world is still coming down on you, take that same gun kid, stick it in your mouth and pull the trigger. And the sad thing is ladies and gentlemen, some children in society listen to that message. Labell Interview at 4:01 I'm not going to stand here today and tell you that music is the reason that kids commit suicide or commit crimes or anything like that. Music is not the sole reason, something was wrong with the child way before they started to listen to the music. However, I'm not going to stand here that say that there isn't a piece of the music that may influence that child to take that final step. Because it could push them into that final decision to hurting themselves or going in the wrong direction. Labell Lecture at 1:17:53 What kids are vulnerable to this type of message? Without a doubt it's the at risk kid. The kid who comes from a home where parents abuse them, sexual deviants or maybe they are mentally ill. Jump cut to 1:19:37 Kids that are outcasts, they don't fit in in school. On the outside looking in all of the time. These are the kids who act out on it. They listen to this type of muscian who glorify and It can be deadly. Labell interview at 5:42 Do you tell people to restrict what their kids listen to? No, I tell people to use that music to open up that door of communication. Labell Lecture at 1:37:54 Get involved with their music. I know its tough to come home from work every night tired as you may be and have to sit down and put on Marilyn Manson or put on Snoop doggey dog or what ever other rappers your children listen to. But if you listen to the song and give them your perspective. It opens up the door to communication with them and allows you to get some insight into their world. Student interviews - Jered Doherty & Alli Hiller both talked about why they listened to music, said their parents had listen to the words and talked to them about the messages. The parents I talked with after Labell's lecture said that they were surprised by the explicit nature of the lyrics. Bill Walsh, Ossippe 1:44:56 The changes of the music from the 60's to the 90's is pretty drastic. I didn't even realize that music was out there. Mary Jeanne Luckey, Madison 1:48:56 I hadn't really listened to some of the lyrics and I now that these are some of the artists my kids are listening to so I want'ed to find out what this is about. Luckey said rather than restrict the music her children hear, she'll take the time to listen too and find a way to hear the world from their perspective. From Conway, I'm Theresa Kennett for NH Outlook. |
