State Senate District 16, comprising "Bow, Candia, Dunbarton, Hooksett and Wards 1, 2 and 12 in the city of Manchester" is now up for grabs:
Manchester Mayor elect Ted Gatsas has resigned his State Senate seat, which will set up a special election to replace him this winter.
...It now most likely that a primary will occur in January and a general election in Feburary.
We now have a chance to fill this seat with someone who will not sponsor bills like this:
I. No abortion shall be performed upon an unemancipated minor or upon a female for whom a guardian or conservator has been appointed pursuant to RSA 464-A because of a finding of incompetency, until at least 48 hours after written notice of the pending abortion has been delivered in the manner specified in paragraphs II and III.
II. The written notice shall be addressed to the parent at the usual place of abode of the parent and delivered personally to the parent by the physician or an agent.
III. In lieu of the delivery required by paragraph II, notice shall be made by certified mail addressed to the parent at the usual place of abode of the parent with return receipt requested and with restricted delivery to the addressee, which means the postal employee shall only deliver the mail to the authorized addressee. Time of delivery shall be deemed to occur at 12 o'clock noon on the next day on which regular mail delivery takes place, subsequent to mailing.
