Quick vote by Congress unlikely o
partial-birth abortion veto overrid
fondi
WASHINGTON (AP) — Don’t
look for House and Senate Repub
licans to make a rapid attempt to
overturn President Clinton’s veto
of legislation banning certain late-
term abortions.
They will wait until next year,
closer to the 1998 congressional
elections, before forcing Democ
rats to cast their next vote on the
politically sensitive issue.
On a lopsided House vote of
296-132, the Republican-con-
trolled Congress sent the legisla
tion banning so-called “partial
birth” abortions to Clinton’s desk
last week. He vetoed it Friday, with
considerably less fanfare than that
which accompanied his rejection
of a similar measure in 1996.
The bill would have banned
the procedure — which involves
the partial delivery of a fetus, legs
first, through the birth canal, fol
lowed by drainage of its skull —
except when needed to save a
woman’s life.
Clinton also favors an excep
tion in cases in which a mother’s
health is endangered.
“As a result of this congres
sional indifference to women’s
health, I cannot in good con
science” approve the bill, he said
in his veto notice.
Majority Republicans can at
tempt to override whenever they
wish. Several officials, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said that
won’t be until next year — possibly
around the anniversary of the
landmark 1973 Supreme Court
ruling legalizing abortion, possibly
around Mother’s Day or some oth
er symbolic date.
The issue is politically useful for
Republicans. Abortion rights
groups oppose the measure,
which forces Democratic lawmak
ers customarily aligned with those
groups to cast a difficult vote.
An override seems likely in the
House, where the 296-132 margin
of passage was more than the
two-thirds majority necessary.
The Senate earlier approved the
measure on a vote of 64-36 —
three shy of a veto-proof majority.
“The president is confident his
position can be sustained,” White
"House spokesman Mike McCurry
said Friday.
Abortion foes gradually have
been gaining strength in the Sen
ate on the issue. Three senior De
mocrats, including the party’s
leader, Sen. Tom Daschle of South
Dakota, switched sides and voted
for the ban last spring after oppos
ing it earlier.

Willowdean Chandler, a
resident of Bryan-College Sta
tion who donated money to
the fund, said she could not
adopt the dog but wanted to fund any additional medical expens
es for the care of Marlin.
“I told the Kingdom Animal Hospital that I would pay for the
cost of the surgery,” Chandler said. “My husband and I have had a
connection (and history) with dogs at Texas A&M. My daughter and
my son went to Texas A&M. My brother was in the company that
found Reveille.”
Chandler said her husband, Tom Chandler, coached the A&M
Baseball Team from 1959 to 1984. She said the team kept for 10
years a dog some Texas A&M football players found.
“The night before the Thanksgiving game with the Universi
ty of Texas, these A&M football players found a dog,” Chandler
said. “We had that Aggie dog for about 10 years. I have a soft spot
for dogs.”
Dr. Donald Hulse, an orthopedic veterinarian and a professor at
the A&M College ofVeterinary Medicine, performed the operation.
He said the two weeks that elapsed between the operation and
the accident complicated the surgery, but Marlin responded well.
“Because his forearm was broken, we reduced the fracture and
put the bone ends back together,” Hulse said. “We used a bone
plate to stabilize it.”
Hulse said the College ofVeterinary Medicine thanks the stu
dents who donated money for Marlin’s care.
“They spent some of their hard-earned money and we really ap
preciate that,” he said.
Dr. Renee Lara, the veterinarian at the Kingdom Animal Hospi
tal who performed the first operation on Marlin, said she appreci
ated the support from A&M students.
She said additional funds will be used to pay for services
provided by the hospital, including vaccinations and neuter
ing for Marlin.
“He should be able to have his stitches taken out in 10 days,”
Lara said. “It will probably be several more weeks be

“When I graduated 11 years ago, it
was a rare thing to see women in lead
ership roles on campus,” she said. “I
was in the first class where women
played in the Aggie Band. Today, there
are females in leadership positions
everywhere. It is not only significant
that they are women, but it is that they
are equally or better qualified.”
Amy Callaway, an MSC MBA law
committee representative and a junior
management major, said she hopes to
apply tiie ideas she learned at the forum
to her role on campus.
