The right to choose has always been one of the
fundamental rights given to an American citizen. Now
as the political climate slowly shifts toward the
conservative, the right of the woman to choose to have
an abortion or not is being threatened, Faye Wattleton,
national president of the Planned Parenthood
Federation of American, said Thursday.
In a press conference, Wattleton, the first woman
and the first black president of PPFA, pledged
continued support for the right of women to choose.
At a panel discussion Wednesday, six health
professionals, who had either performed or assisted in
abortions, also discussed their feelings on the subject.
Both Wattleton and the professionals felt there was a
possibility of a constitutional amendment banning
abortion getting passed by the new Congress and sent
to the states for ratification.
However, they said it had little chance of passing.
"I think women want freedom of choice. I don't
think they will muster enough support," William
Brenner, professor of obstetrics and gynecology, said.
"Who is better prepared to enter a new generation
into the world, the woman or the state?" said Dr.
Warren Hern, who performs abortions and heads a
private clinic in Colorado.
Hern said he believed that the only people who
gained from controversy over abortion were
politicians.
. He said not allowing a woman to have an abortion
because she could not afford it was a social injustice.
Wattleton, however said she was pleased that 22
states still provided. state funds for abortion despite the
Hyde Amendment banning the use of Medicaid funds
for them. North Carolina is one of the nine states
which voluntarily provides these funds. The other

states have court-enforced aid.
" "You are threatening your own existence with a
pregnancy. The mortality risk is 10 to 35 percent higher
than having an'early abortion," Hern said at the panel
discussion. "If the pregnancy is undesired, the most
appropriate thing is an abortion."
"I don't think any of us have neglected the fact that
it is killing, but we balance the killing against the
overall life view of the patient," Brenner said.
Wattleman and the health professionals agreed an
abortion controversy would continue.
"i think this issue will never be black or white, it will
always be gray. The choice is still up to the individual,"
Heidi Bruninghaus, a nurse in the OBGYN clinic, said.

The Carolina Students for Life will
sponsor an anti-abortion demonstration
today at Memorial Hospital.
Chris Kremer, co-chairman for the
group said the front of the door of
Memorial Hospital would be as close as
the students could get to the abortion
ward.
. "We're hoping to persuade women
from going through with an abortion,"
he said.
The demonstration will begin at noon
at the Bell Tower and go from there to
the hospital.
The group also plans to picket the
ward again next semester.
