E. Lansing busts 'pay- to-drink' parties EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) The attack on pay-to-drink parties 'ill go on in East Lansing until Michigan State University students ruit holding them, police said Syesterday. "We're not going to put up with anything that's illegal. It's a felony 'violation and we're certainly not 4going to put up with it," said police Capt. Richard Murray, who plans to tise plainclothes officers to stop the parties. < Last Saturday night, police broke ,-6p two of the parties, which each had attracted several hundred students. Five felony warrants were issued charging organizers of the parties with selling alcohol without a license, a charge carries a maximum penalty of a year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine. "This isn't a question of inviting your friends over for a party. This is -advertising, then opening up a bar mind selling drinks," Murray said. The crackdown came a week after an Oct. 14 disturbance at an apartment complex near the Michigan State -campus involving a drunken crowd, .,stimated at 3,000, The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 26, 1989 - Page 3 State Senate rules abortion requires parental consent LANSING (AP) - Anti-abortion legislation to require young women to get their parent's permission in order to obtain an abortion easily sailed through the Michigan Senate yesterday. The chamber adopted a handful of amendments to ease the abortion re- striction slightly, but rejected several others that would have made it easier for a young woman to obtain an abortion. The measure passed the Republi- can-controlled chamber on a 29-8 vote and now goes back to the Democrat-run House. Backers feel they have the votes in that chamber to pass the bill there, too, although it's uncertain whether the House would vote to override an expected veto be Demo- cratic Gov. James Blanchard. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Jack Welborn, R-Kalamazoo, is the first anti-abortion legislation to advance in Michigan since the U.S. Supreme Court on July 3 gave the states more power to restrict abortions. "I'm very pleased with the way the bill came out today. We weren't taking a hard-nosed position. This is a parents-rights issue," said Sen. Fred Dillingham, R-Fowlerville and chairperson of the committee that approved the bill last week. "I think it's probably inegood shape. We're satisfied with the way it is," agreed Barbara Listing, presi- dent of Michigan Right to Life, which pushed for the bill's passage. Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Michigan, criticized the measure. "I hope the public isn't suckered into thinking that this is a family rights bill," he said. "The issue is forcing unwanted pregnancies to the term." The bill would require a young woman, age 17 or less to get a par- ents' written consent to obtain an abortion. If the parents refused or the child couldn't discuss the matter with them, she could seek a juvenile court order allowing the abortion. The minor could go to court in any county, and the court would have to help her prepare and file a petition. An attorney would be pro- vided the girl, and the court would have to act on the petition within 48 hours. The court would be required to grant a waiver of parental consent if if found the girl was mature enough to make a decision or if it found "the abortion would be in the interests of the minor." Parental consent wouldn't be re- quired in an emergency, meaning where the continued pregnancy would endanger the girl. Successful amendments to the bill included ones to clarify that birth control devices aren't banned by the bill and to permit a doctor to act on behalf of a teen seeking an abortion. "It would allow parents, regard- less of theirown character to have ultimate control over another per- son's life," said Sen. Lana Pollack, D-Ann Arbor. She predicted that if the bill becomes law, "we're going to see a significant increase in the number of babies having babies."
