[ACLU-NM] Legislative Alert Death Penalty Repeal, Teen Curfew & Parental Notification

[Kimberly Lavender]

The repeal of the death penalty
                             will be heard in Senate Rules Committee Monday.
Once again it is important to call Senator Ben Altamirano, a key
member of that committee, at his direct number 1.505.986.4733 -- especially
Southwestern Chapter members..
                             See our weblog at www.aclu-nm.org for updates
on this issue locally.

Parental notification (SB126)
                              passed committee and is on the way to the
House.  This bill requires the notification of a parent -- and a 48-hour
wait after that -- before an unmarried minor could get an abortion.  For
news on this bill, see our Legislative Alert #18 on our wonderful weblog at
www.aclu-nm.org; the weblog is at the top of the right column.
                              Call your legislators at 1.505.986.4300


Teen curfew
                              was adopted with a "do pass" and is on the way
to Senate Judiciary Committee.
                              Call Senator Lidio Rainaldi, a key vote we
need to defeat currfew on this committee, at 1.505.986.4310.
                              We believe if this bill passes, it will be
utlimately defeated in the courts as unconstitutional.

                               For a brief local history of teen curfew (and
how it was defeated with a court case in Albuquerque), see Legislative Alert
                               #17 on our wonderful weblog at
