on the basis of gender is “the most
frivolous use of abortion yet in
vented,” the president of Texans
United for Life said Monday in sup
porting a ban on such abortions.
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.
