BERNALILLO COUNTY APPROVES HOME PICKETING BAN

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) Bernalillo County commissioners have approved a ban on picketing outside private residences in unincorporated areas of the county that includes Albuquerque. The measure approved Tuesday night on a 4-1 vote by the County Commission is an outgrowth of anti-abortion picketing at a home in the county.

The measure is similar to a law already on the books in Albuquerque.
