Voices for Children supports the recognition and civil rights of all
persons and families.
New Mexico
Voices for Children supports these policy proposals:
- Support
gay and lesbian couples who want to strengthen their families by
making a life long civil commitment to each other. Studies indicate
that children thrive in households with same gender parents. Voices
opposes any legislation or constitutional amendment that would prohibit
marriage or civil commitments between same gender partners.
- Repeal
of the death penalty. The death penalty is known to be applied in
a discriminatory manner, ineffective as a deterrent to crime, and
more costly than life in prison. Voices also believes we should
not be teaching our children that killing is an appropriate form
of justice.
