Liberalized Abortion Law Certain To Come Up Again

By FRANK WHITE A LIBERALIZED ABORTION law, defeated in the last session of the Indiana General Assembly, is sure to be re-introduced in 1971. Chances for passage have improved . The United Presbyterian Women, meeting in West Lafayette adopted a resolution urging change in abortion laws so that a decision for or against might be made by “women and physicians and pastors and other counselors without legal encumbrances.” The meeting o( Presbyterian Women elected Mrs Roy Denham, an American Indian from Albuquerque, New Mexico, as president England led the parade for liberalizing restrictions, adopting

a new abortion law in 1967. Any woman can have her pregnancy terminated legally with the written permission of two doctors, who must certify it is in the interest of either the mother or the unborn child for physical, psychological or moral reasons. In 1968, the first year of the act, more than 2,000 foreign women had abortions in Britain, with over 1.000 coming from West Germany, 481 from the U. S., and 236 from Canada. Pregnant American women soon led the international rush. Some 615 Ameriqgns arrived to terminate pregnancies during the last three months of 1969 compared to 508 West German women. Abortions are free under Britian’s National Health Service, and cost privately is S4BO Travel from the United States is destined to lessen as many states face up to the controversial problem. Since the 1967 law in England, at least 12 states have passed new abortion laws with an additional 5 states liberalizing existing laws Court cases have been docketed in a few of the remaining 33 states testing the constitutionality of existing laws. Liberalized laws passed in Arkansas. California. Colorado. Delaware. Georgia. Hawaii, Kansas. Mary land. New York. North Carolina and Oregon New York, most recent to

change, is the most liberal. Abortions are not limited to licensed approved hospitals and there is no residency requirement. Statistics for the first week of the “abortion on demand” indicate more than 500 pregnancies were terminated medically as physicians tackled a backlog of some 2.000 scheduled under the new law. The State permits any woman to obtain an abortion from a duly licensed physician during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. Hospitals, faced with the avalanche. are adopting “residents first” guidelines. The legislature did not prohibit office abortions under the law passed in April, however the Senate Health Department and the City Board of Heath laid down guidelines limiting abortions to hospitals and clinics. Some doctors operated in their offices in defiance or restrictions ordered by the health agencies. One Blue Cross official estimated that over 100.000 abortions will be performed within the year in New .York City and its satellite communities, with Blue Cross providing some hospital benefits to 65 per cent of the women. “The cost for benefits probably will come to $lO million a year for Blue Cross subscribers." William Walpole, community relations coordinator in the greater New York area estimated. What is the trend of new laws? All but New York insist abortions must be performed in licensed, approved hospitals All except Hawaii and New York require that a hospital board of doctors approve the application. Seven of the states require operation within a specified time. Six of the states have residencyrequirements. and the other six discourage out of state visitors. Colorado has no residencyrequirement in the law- and performed 900 abortions last year. Hospitals will not take out of state patients on the theory that there is barely enough bed space for local women. California has no residency

A Helping Hand From HUD Kinder Realty Brings Low Cost Housing To Lakeland Area

The Syracuse community stands in the wake of a real housing boom, providing the alliance of a local builder and developer and representatives of the Housing and Urban Development federal program materializes as expected. The name of the HUD program, operating under the aegis of the department of Health. Education and Welfare, is called “Operation Breakthrough.” Former Michigan Governor George N. Romney is head of HUD and is making an all-out push to bring low cost housing to the average American family. Enter Kinder Realty The whole idea is to bring a low-cost three and four-bedroom home to people with limited incomes. and here’s how it works. HUD has worked out a formula whereby a wage earner pays only 20 per cent of his adjusted income as a monthly payment on a brand new house. You’ll ask quickly, “What is an adjusted income?” This is the gross income of the potential home buyer, less S3OO each for his children, less taxes, insurance, and other such essentials. The 'whole formula is spelled out in detail by HUD. Kinder Realty. Inc., a Syracuse-based home builder and developer, just a year and a half old. was quick to recognize the need for a low cost home in the Lakeland area, and has made contact with HUD officials to tie in with their nafional program for low cost housing. The alliance is already bearing fruit. One such house has been built and is now open for public viewing The Model house, is

It is that as many as 8,000 women in the United States die even* year from illegal or self-induced abortions Modem Medicine questioned American doctors in a poll on sociomedical issues. The publication asked "Should abortion be available to any woman capable of giving legal consent upon her own request to a competent physician?” Os the 27.741 who took part. 62.8 percent answered “yes" and 37.2 per cent “no,” Os those answering yes. 118 per cent qualified their answer approving only for medical reasons or following incest or rape Fiftyone per cent gave an unqualified yes against 4.4 per cent unqualified “no’s.”

Three Syracuse Youths Injured In Boat Blaze

A boat fire Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock sent three Syracuse teenagers to Goshen hospital for bums sustained in the mishap. The incident took place at the gas pumps of the Fish-N-Fun Resort at the east edge of Syracuse on Syracuse Lake following a gas fill-up by 16 yearold Dale Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown and an employee at the resort. He received flash burns about the face and was admitted for further observation at the hospital. Driver of the boat. Bill Massengill. 15, and Evelyn Leitch. 13, a passenger in the boat, were admitted to the hospital in fair condition from bums. Miss Leitch sustained bums about the face, arms, legs and feet and both were fed interveinously immediately after entrance in the hospital. It was thought the fire resulted due to a gas overflow defect or broken gas line as several inches of gasoline was discovered beneath the floor in the bilge area. The first attempt to start the boat failed and in the second attempt fire resulted from a spark and the Syracuse first aid unit responded. Young Brow-n was taken to the office of a local physician prior to his admittance at the hospital, however. Leitch and Massengill were administered first aid at the scene and taken immediately to the hospital. Dale is recuperating at his home and Leitch and Massengill remain patients at the hospital with second degree bums and it is thought a& this time that no skin grafting-will be necessary. Their parents are Mrs. Lillian ( Leitch and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brixey, all of Syracuse.' Mr. and Mrs. Urban Bauer of Cissna Park. 111., and son, Ray Bauer of Champaign. 111., were week end guests of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Beer of r 1 Milford.
