Meanwhile, the Texas Abortion Rights Action League’s executive di rector said the measure would hurt women and is not needed because the procedure is not performed for that reason. Bill Price of Texans United for Life distributed newspaper articles on the subject to the House State Af fairs Committee, which had before it several abortion measures. One article said national surveys indicate the percentage of geneticists who approve of prenatal diagnosis for sex selection rose from 1 percent in 1973 to nearly 20 percent in 1988. “It is deeply distressing that the abortion mentality in our country has resulted in such a trivializing of the value of human life that even that tiny unborn baby’s gender is now enough reason, in some peo ple’s minds, to kill her,” Price said in prepared testimony. Phyllis Dunham, TARAL direc tor, said the bill, and another sup ported by Price that would require minors to get parental consent to have an abortion, are “really de signed to confuse the public. “The bills actually are blatantly bad for women in the long run, and yet on the surface they seem very, very reasonable,” Dunham told re porters. Women who have abortions after tests such as amniocentesis, which may be used to determine the sex of the fetus or the presence of disease, are “dealing with severe fetal abnor malities or severe health problems,” she said. “What this bill would mean is that that handful of women, and it’s only a handful each year in this state, would be subjected to justifying to the state their motives for having those abortions,” she said. “Women don’t seek these kinds of abortions and physicians don’t perform abor tions on the basis of gender selec tion. It just doesn’t happen.” Price said in his testimony that “maybe there are only a few unborn babies being killed for the most friv olous reason ever invented, but let me ask you, how many of these sex- selection killings would I have to document to get your support?” Of the parental consent measure, Dunham said at least 80 percent of minors already involve at least one parent in the decision to have an abortion. Those who do not, cannot for such reasons as incest or violence in the home, she said. “You’re talking about kids hurting themselves, self-inducing, throwing themselves down stairs, using knit ting needles or going across the bor der,” she said. “The bottom line is it’s going to hurt some kids and pos sibly kill some.” Price said a Texas Poll survey showed 70 percent of Texans sup port parental consent legislation. “Frankly, I am surprised that we are still debating the issue of paren tal consent,” he said. “This Legis lature has shown no reluctance to enact laws in other areas for the spe cial care and protection of minors.” Suspect remains jailed on two murder charges FORT WORTH (AP) — Police on Monday examined evidence from the scene of a television station exec utive’s robbery-slaying while a man accused in the death and other kill ings over a two-year period re mained imprisoned. Ricky Lee Green of Azle appeared before Judge Joe Drago on a capital murder charge filed Sunday. The 28-year-old ^inan also was charged Saturday with one count of murder, Mark Barta, Tarrant County assis tant district attorney, said. Green remained Monday in Tar rant County jail in lieu of bonds of $500,000 and $750,000 on the two charges, Dorothy Greene, a sheriffs spokesman, said. Prosecutors said Green also was suspected of stabbing to death two women in his Boyd mobile home in 1985. Green was charged in the Decem ber 1986 death of Steven Fefferman, a 28-year-old sales manager for KXAS-TV in Fort Worth. Fefferman was found tied to his bed and buried under a pile of cloth ing in his Fort Worth town house, authorities said. He had been cas trated, slashed and stabbed, law offi cers said. “It was murder in the course of robbery,” said Barta. He said a slay ing committed during commission of another felony qualifies under state law as capital murder, punisha ble by death. The murder charge was filed against Green in the death of a 16- year-old boy who lived with his mother in a Fort Worth trailer park on Lake Worth, authorities said. Cult kidnapping rumors prove false, officials say PECOS (AP) — Rumors that a band of Satan worshipers planned to kidnap some children in West Texas proved false, officials said. Similar gossip circulated in South and East Texas last month following the arrests in Mexico of four mem bers of a drug-smuggling cult ac cused of performing human sacri fices. The rumors in Brownsville, Har lingen, McAllen and Hemphill were unfounded, but parents still rushed to school to pick up their children before the end of the school day. Pecos parents called the city police department and the Reeves County Sheriff’s office to ask about the kid napping reports. “The rumors going around about children being kidnapped are not true,” Pecos Police Chief Troy Moore said. “We have had no re ports of missing children.” The rumors indicated a group of Satan worshipers planned to meet Sunday somewhere between Pecos and Fort Stockton. The reports said 17 children under the age of 4 were to be used in a sacrificial ritual, but police said they were aware of no such meeting of Satan worshipers Sunday. “What we’re working with in the first place are only rumors about al leged Satanic activity,” Moore said. “We don’t discount rumors. We check them out. But at this time there has been nothing found to substantiate the rumors.” Chief sheriff’s deputy Jack Brewer agreed the reports were un founded. “We’re concerned about the po tential problem and are alert, just in case,” Brewer said.
