Abortion... Heavenly harmony aids Oread garden
dergo illegal abortion die because of complications and sloppy procedures."
Suzanne Wilkinson of the Comprehensive Health Clinic in Kansas City, Kan., said she hoped that the clinic would not see any more patients suffering from self-induced abortions, but that she did not feel secure in making that assumption.
"Women through the ages have been driven to some pretty extreme measures. I just hope that women will not be returning to them because of the recent decision," Wilkinson said.
The Comprehensive Health Clinic has provided abortions to 65 women who were eligible for Medicaid funds since February 19, 1980, she said.
"We're going to see a lot more women in the future who are going to have a lot of difficult jobs."
DIRKS SAID the people who would be affected by the ruling would be low income people, like students, who wouldn't have the money to seek expensive medical services.
"The number of those seeking abortions is grossly underestimated," she said. "According to our 78 figures, there were 3,300 women in the program who were eligible for Medicaid funds."
Lorna Zimmer, of the Student Assistance Center at the University of Kansas, said, "of the students I talk to, most are able to come up with the money for an abortion by hook or by crook."
Zimmer said that she didn't know any clinic in the area that would provide an abortion free
There are no cheap abortions in this area.
The average cost for a first trimester abortion is $287.49.
The length of pregnancy is divided into three trimester periods. The first trimester is the first trimester period.
Dirks said that there were organizations that tried to provide financial assistance to those in need of it "but there is not any way that they can meet the needs of 300,000 women."
"The overall reality of this decision," she said, "is that women can no longer rely on the courts to protect their legal rights to a safe and legal abortion."

Plants occupy free-form clumps rather than rows. Squat, broadleaf tropical trees are covered by shocks of Kansas grains. Bushy peas and nuts run alongside spiny cactus and tall sunflowers.

Located in the front yard of his home at 1128 Ohio, the garden is an interesting arrangement of more than 60 varieties of vegetables and fruits. It includes ponds and what others might call useless weeds.
Viewed from the southwest, the shape of his garden resembles a flattened Narrow garden. Narrow gardens are divided by pliers.
"Sometimes I just look at it, sometimes I eat from it, sometimes I do both." Walstrom, who has a master's degree in fine arts from the University of Pennsylvania, currently I am really into growing herbs for teas.
His favorite teas are mint, chrysanthemum
and conifery, all of which he picks early in the
week.
CABBAGES AND EGGPLANTS nestle among great stalks of corn. The garden is splished liberally with the orange of marigolds, the deep green of spinach and the earthy tones to Walstrom, the garden is an artist's expression.
"Just place the leaves in medium-warm water or refrigerate to suit your taste," he said, offering
"Now comes the important part," he said,
"the soy."
HE BEGEN FISHING a large, off-white cake from a bottle of basil rouge royale tea. The cake's mysterious appearance resembled styrofoam.
"I marinate it for a long time in the tea," he said. "It has to be just right."
Walstrom said he started experimenting with soybeans while in India.
"Now I know just about everything there is to do with them," he said. "The only problem is that it takes so long to cook them. It takes at least 3 days."
"But my parents never grew anything I fish," he said. "So I lived off bananas, tuna fish and milk when I was growing up. I stayed alive, but who knows what keeps kids alive."
Walstrom said he acquired many of his gardening instincts from his parents and grandparents.
TODAY, MOST OF Walstrom's diet comes from his garden, which he meticulously cares for. He grows an orchard and has a farm.
Patience, he said, is the most important ingredient of good gardening.
"I plant seeds alongside potted plants so I can see quick results and don't get discouraged," he
But he also treats his garden with love and respect. Tenderly, he dug three cutworms from the base of a cornstalk, dropping them on an anthill.
"The ants will make short work of them," he said.
Walstrom also said he enjoyed the wildlife his garden attracted. The small ponds are kept full to draw wasps and satisfy the thirst of rabbits and frogs. He respected the territorial integrity of his garden.
"They can eat and drink as much as they want," he said.
Probably as many ideas are planted in Walstrom's garden as seeds. Marigolds, fennel, goosefoot and wild tobacco are plentiful because produce odors that chase away unwanted insects.
NEXT YEAR IS THE of the monkey so, in accordance with the Chinese calendar, Walstrom will spread 200 pounds of manly manure on his lawn to repose it. The heaves "because it uses" Walstrom said.
Corn and cabbage are planted together because corn leaves tend to shred the wings of cabbage-eating files. Each year, a new crop of plants is planted for the butterflies that migrate in May.
As plants outlive their usefulness, they are dig up to provide space for replacements. Everything except large, unwieldy items like sunflower or corm stalks return to the ground as soil from the stalks are transferred to a compost pile from which birds take pieces to construct nests.
Some of what he grows is harvested and some is left for seed.
"Just like grandma used to do," Walstrom said.
Greg Walstrom, 1128 Ohio, searches his artistic garden for unwanted bugs and cutworms. The butterfly-shaped garden has more than 60 varieties of vegetables and flowers.
