  • PAGE 10/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/MARCH 2, 1978 Anti-abortion laws equal mandatory pregnancy From Page 3 and every child has the right to be wanted. However, the anti-abortionists wish to take this right away from women and children. Anti-abortionisls fail to concern themselves with what happens to the unwanted child after birth. The majority of the American public are in favor of the present "free choice of the individual woman" law. she said. Whether legal or illegal, abortion is inevitable. In the 1%0's, illegal abortions were the major cause of maternal deaths, whereas legal abortion poses little or no damage to the patient. Anti-Abortionists were seen as promoting "back-alley abortions" with the banning of legal abortion. When Ms. Ruben asked for a show of hands from those m tin- audience yy ho knew someone who had an abortion, over half of the audience indicated they had known someone in this category. With such a large number of people familiar yvith abortion, there were several questions from the audience. "What is the risk to future pregnancies after an abortion?" I here is very little, if any. risk in the procedure itself. The major source of damage occurs when patients fail to lake proper precautions in the two weeks following the Operation. If infection develops during these weeks and the woman fails to get proper medical attention, scarring may occur in the Fallopian tubes, complicating future conceptions, Ruben said. "What is WCU's infirmary's policy on abortion?" Anyone entitled to use of the infirmary's facilities is entitled to request a pregnancy test. If the test is positive, the infirmary offers counseling and referral to proper agencies. For abortion services, the infirmary yvill refer a patient to a clinic in N.C, Atlanta, or Knoxville. If the patient w ishes to keep the child, the infirmary yvill refer tin; patient to a private physician for prenatal care. Ihe pregnancy test itself only takes 5-10 minutes to perform, and the results are fairly accurate. Before the lest can be performed, however, the patient must be two weeks past a skipped period. "What is the cost of an abortion?" If services are rendered by a private physician, the fee is from $200 up. An abortion can be obtained from a clinic for $125-165. "Is it illegal for minors (under 18) to buy contraceptive devices'.'" No. however, some clinics require parental consent for people under age fifteen. '"What is your (Ms. Ruben's) opinion of over-the- counter pregnancy tests?" Ihe cost of such an "at home" test is $11.95, whereas the pregnancy test at the infirmary or a clinic is fne. The chance of reading your own test inaccurately is also a factor. Having a lab technician's expertise is an advantage over any type of home test. "Uoes the combination ot cigarettes and birth control pills make a person more susceptible to a heart attack?" Yes, I here is a greater risk of heart attack yvith this combination. Before using the pill, one's medical record should be checked to see the possibility of such risks. After answering questions from the audience, Ms. Ruben presented a filmstrip demonstrating the suction-eurratage method of abortion as used under clinical circumstances. Before surgery, the patient's medical history is reviewed for allergies and a blood test is given. The abortion procedure itself only takes from 15-20 minutes. Alter the operation, the patient is warned of precautions to be taken. After two weeks the patient is to have a check-up with the doctor. The film stressed how simple the procedure is for a suction-eurratage abortion. This operation is much safer than carrying a pregnancy to full term and thus, should not be'feared by anyone with an unwanted pregnancy. After the film, Ms. Ruben and Professor Jacques were available for further questions. Next week's Forum will be "Human Rights and Amnesty International." Senate Lighting bill passes 10-5 A bill requesting more lights to be added to some tennis courts met with some surprising opposition Monday night because such plans have already been made by the administration. Sen. Mark Asa, sponsor of the bill, felt the opposition yvas unnecessary and said, "1 think we (the senate) should go on the record as favoring the bill..." Opposition was led by Sens. Richard Sullins, Tim Sikes and Wanda Nelson who thought the bill should <ither by rejected or changed to an "endorsement instead of a "request." Sen. Sullins said, "...the bill should have stated the the senate endorsed the already existing plan of the administration, rather than requesting the lighting out of the blue." President Patrick Murphy expressed the possibility of vetoing the bill because. "It seems a little superfluous ...it needs to be changed..." Murphy said that although he may veto it, he would not lobby within the senate to uphold his decision and added that he would not be surprised if the senate overrode his veto. Murphy pointed out that he would "simply take it (the bill) to Dr. Glenn Stillion and not recommend it and that'd be the end of it."

Served w ith your choice of steak-cut fries, or baked potato, and a fresh garden salad. Another proponent for the bill was Sen. Joe Kerley who said, "This went through committee and even though it might take some time to happen (the installation of the lights) we though it would be good to let people know we want them." After a little further debate, the bill passed with a 10-5 decision. A progress report was given by Ms. Ann Lindsay on the progress of the University Book and Supply Store Committee. Ms. Lindsay explained that the book rental department receives a 20 per cent discount from the publishers list price by buying in quantity and passes these savings on to the students. Lindsay also said that since the book store didn't incur any profits through the rental department that a five per cent overhead loss resulted in the store. The only notable exception is in the case of graduates who must pay the list price for the texts instead of receiving a discount. The committee is supposed to finish their study by April 15 but President Murphy believes that the study can be completed before then and has said that he wiil push for its completion by the last week in March (before spring break). Sen. Deborah Brogden sponsored a bill to install either a vending machine or a television on 7th floor Scott because every other hall on the dorm has one. She said it was "only fair" to those living on 7th floor. The bill passed despite an objection by Sen. Asa that the bill shouia possibly pertain to dorms other than just Scott. This was rejected because the bill dealt with a specific problem rather than a general one. fsnri » ,i '' -rvT- -'--Tn» ti« n-rr — i .I'i'Wl.
