Bush, decided a teen- j girl could have an abortion thout telling her parents. Aside from that March ruling, (court has voted against five oth- ftnnor girls seeking to bypass the ■fication law.

Justices are elected, but the governor fills “The voters will know III put compe tent judges on the bench..." BUSH unexpired terms. Another court handles the state’s highest-level criminal appeals. “The voters will know I’ll put competent judges on the bench, peo ple who will strictly interpret the Con stitution and will not use the bench to write social policy,” Bush said. A1 Gonzales, appointed last year by Bush, said Wednesday he prac tices judicial restraint and believes his fellow justices do too. “Generally, this is a conservative- minded body that doesn’t believe in legislating from the bench,” said Gonzales, who was Bush’s staff gen eral counsel, and his appointee for secretary of state before being named to the court. Gonzales said he believes Bush would take the same approach for U.S. Supreme Court appointments as he does in Texas. “I do know he won’t have a lit mus test. He never asked me my position on any particular issue,” Gonzales said. Other Bush appointees to the Texas Supreme Court are James A. Baker, a Dallas appeals court judge; Greg Abbott, presiding judge of a state civil district court in Houston; and Deborah Hankinson, a Dallas lawyer Bush had previously ap pointed to an appeals court. faper turns over documents miocracy.

The Times had challenged the subpoena, but a visit ing district judge ruled against the newspaper. Quintana said the Times will resist any effort to force reporters or editors to testify about the identity of the person who gave the newspaper the documents. “We will make every attempt... to maintain confi dentiality,” Quintana said. Late last month, the Times turned over a one-page memorandum written by Assistant Police Chief George De Angelis that raised concerns about Cortinas. It also was subpoenaed by the grand jury. Times Editor Don Flores has said the paper turned over the one-page memo because a copy of the doc ument already had been published and the newspa per’s copies would not lead investigators to the con fidential source. 1 — TIKI ued from Page alley who have HIV, 2 male and 51.4 per- ually transmitted dis- : any other disease," md, yes, it is hereon nts don’t want to gel eally need to think l hey’re doing.” another major issue its deal with, Griffitli ed the young men she to have been sued for : young women w.‘ ady to be mothers, insible, sexually, is /hat you’re doing aid. “It’s if you have abstinence, that you :ment, and that if you »nd that, that you take sexually transmitted mplanned, and per iregnancies.” s Clinic at Beutel birth control | ken daily, and acon- that stays in ;tream and is given iths.
