woman and the mother of five children, said last week
that she was denied medical care bv a local white
obstetrician under Medicaid unless she a^eed to be
sterilized and that her offer to pay for the delivery was
rejected.
She charged that this refusal
forced her to accept steriliza
tion. especially after she was
told by Dr. C. H. Pierce, one of
only three obstetricians in the
county, all of whom are white,
told her. "Listen here, young
lady, this is my tax money

ATLANTA. Georgia - The
non-partisan Voter Education
Project, Inc. (VEP) has
announced plans to initiate a
comprehensive South-wide
system of services designed to
give greater impact to activi
ties assisting minority political
participation.
Since 1962, the Voter Educa
tion Project has worked
exclusively in the area of
minority politics, organizing
programs of voter registration,
citizenship education, re
search. technical assistance to
black elected officials, and
leadership training for blacks
and chicanos.
The programmatic services
will be expanded by an "area
coordinator" concept, to be
implemented October 1, 1973,
which will enable the Voter
Education Project to pinpoint
areas of greatest need and
deliver programs based on
those local needs.
Areas of need will be
identified on a regional scale
with imput from VEP’s
research aepartment. its area
coordinators, and its Board of
Directors, as well as minority
elected officials and commun
ity leaders. Current staff will
be incorporated in the new
structure.
In the past, the VEP has
relied on a system of three
state offices, youth organizers,
and field organizers. Under the
area coordinator concept, the
VEP will discontinue support
of the state offices in Nortii
Carolina, South Carolina, and
