The Vatican planned to state its posi tion on the draft on Tuesday. It wasn’t likely to accept the reproductive rights and contraception sections. The Vatican was the lone dissenter in the previous two U.N. population conferences. Argentina said it would oppose those sections. Other countries also may express reservations during Tuesday's session. Third World delegates questioned whether poor nations could pay their assigned two-thirds share of the tar get of $17 billion yearly for population and health programs. And they said the almost total con cern with sexual issues left little time for discussing development. A working group forged a compro mise on reproductive health that the whole committee approved late Monday afternoon. The delegates filling the com mittee room broke into applause. The working group sidestepped the Vatican’s objections to a right to “fertili ty regulation,” which it said could mean abortion under World Health Organiza tion definitions. It was changed to “regulation of fertility” to separate it from the WHO terminology. Nicolaas Biegman, the Dutch diplomat who chaired the com mittee, said it was a deliberately am biguous solution. The Vatican won reference to parental responsibility in the section on adolescent sex counseling. It also succeeded in getting in two state ments proclaiming that abortion should not be promoted as a means of family planning. Biegman told reporters, “I don’tt! they have been able to turn thespj the document, which is indivii choice, including artificial contract “The stress is on the individua, pect.
