Several Texas cities were the sites of demonstrations on Saturday, while others were planned for Tues day. Elsewhere in the nation, abortion opponents organized parades and rallies while abortion rights support ers stood watch at clinics, lighting candles and forming human chains to protest increasing violence. The round-the-clock vigils spon sored by the National Organization for Women at family planning cen ters in 18 states are meant to counter anti-abortion protests that will cul minate Tuesday with the 12th March tor Life in Washington, D.C. At the Routh Street Women’s Clinic in Dallas, a celebration and demonstration in honor of the his toric ruling will be held on Tuesday, said clinic spokeswoman Charlotte Taft. Taft said the purpose of the gath ering will be “to celebrate freedom of choice and recognize that this has been an important benefit for women in this country.” At the same time, several hundred anti-abortion advocates will assemble outside the clinic in silent protest, said Bill Price, president of the Greater Dallas Right to Life Com mittee. “What is reouired is not balloons and flags and loud commotion, but really a more somber sorrowful sense of shame — of national shame and humiliation,” he said. On Saturday, parades across South Texas marked the anniver sary. In Beaumont, about 250 anti abortion proponents attended an in- terreligious service sponsored by Birthright Inc. More than 80 sign-carrying dem onstrators gathered in Harlingen, walking from the Reproductive Services clinic to McKelvy Park. “The reason why we are here is not political gain, not economic gain, but compassion,” said the Rev. Kevin Badeaux, a pro-life supporter and deacon at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Beaumont. “Many people would like to char acterize us as bomb-throwing fanat ics,” he said. Another march organizer in Har lingen said their actions were meant as peaceful expressions of strong personal beliefs. “(It’s) a show of support to the community that there are some nor mal people who don’t throw bombs, that have jobs and live in this com munity but are very ’much opposed to abortion” in a non-violent matter, said Mary Ann Ellsworth. Replica of White House sprouts up in Jordan Associated Press AMMAN, Jordan — A Palestinian businessman’s version of the White House is rising on a dusty hillside in the Jordanian capital, overlooking the boxy villas ami slender minarets of modern Amman. From the front and sides, it looks as if the White House has been uprooted from Pennsylvania Ave nue and planted on the steep slope above Jordan University Street. Only the word ‘Allah’ in Arabic on the portico clearly distinguishes the home of Ghazi Abu Younis from the northern face of President Reagan’s house. “1 have visited the United States, and 1 have seen the White House and I am very proud to do the same,” Abu Younis told a reporter, speaking above the rock-cutting saws inside the half-completed building. Abu Younis, a Palestinian heavy equipment dealer, sent his two sons to study at North Carolina State Uni versity. He said it wasn’t admiration for the United States that inspired his house. “Actually,” he said, “I liked the design.” His brother-in-law, Helmi al-Ad- ham, incorporated the White House design in the house’s front and sides. But from the rear, Abu Younis’ home could be another of the rect angular stone boxes that have spread across the hills of Amman during the economic boom of the past decade. Abu Younis’ home, with two sto ries and a basement, is considerably smaller than the five-level White House. Al-Adham estimated it will have about 15,120 square feet of living space, compared with 67,200 for the original. The completed structure will dif fer from the Washington White House in other ways, too. It will include seven fountains, as well as a gymnasium, a rooftop pa tio, a waterfall that flows into a swim ming pool and a garden that draws its inspiration from the palace of Versailles. The interior is to have a curving staircase, a chandelier suspended above two fountains and a classical decor chosen by British interior de signer Dan Ashton, Abu Younis said. Abu Younis said he has already spent about $750,000 on his house, to be finished this summer. SEVEN CHAPTERS Of PHIOSOPHY FOR TOMORROW AND A ROCK CONCERT TONIGHT YOU CAN DO IT!
