Vatican refuses to compromise on abortion
The Associated Press
CAIRO, Egypt — Delegates at the U.N. population conference made a breakthrough yesterday night on the heated issue of abortion, but the Vatican refused to go along with the compromise.
The abortion debate has entangled efforts to draft a 20-year plan to slow the world's population growth. The hard-fought negotiations yesterday dealt with a single paragraph in the 113-page draft report.
Delegates from the 182 nations
attending the conference were to give the section final consideration today.
The United States supports the compromise, while the European Union, Norway and Sweden said it was the "rock bottom" of what they would accept, U.S. delegate David Harwood said. Iran, Pakistan and Benin, which previously sided with the Vatican on abortion, accepted the language.
The compromise paragraph would urge all governments to deal with the health impact of unsafe abortion as a major public health concern. It would
also urge governments to reduce the need for abortion by expanding and improving family planning services. The revision adds that abortion should never be "promoted" as a "method of family planning."
Vice President Al Gore, head of the U.S. delegation, sought to put the best face on a meeting with the leader of the Vatican delegation.
"I think they're finally understanding what we've said all along," he told The Associated Press. "The misunderstandings they've had before have been significantly dispelled."
But he conceded the two sides would inevitably remain divided on contraception and "an American woman's right to choose" abortion.
Gore insisted the International Conference on Population and Development "is already an outstanding success."
"There will be a broader consensus than has ever come out of a conference of this kind in all of the history of this effort" with only about 1 percent of the report still in dispute, he said.

s KU Athletic Director, Bob Frederick knows the importance of helmets to KU football players. As an avid cyclist, Bob experienced firsthand the necessity of a helmet to anyone riding a bike.
You see, Bob was admitted to Lawrence Memorial Hospital in June with multiple injuries suffered in a cycling accident. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet. "They say he would not have lived if he hadn't had a helmet on," says Margey Frederick, Bob's wife.
Without a helmet, Bob would have been one of the 50.000 bicyclists each year
Without a helmet, Bob would have been one of the 50,000 bicyclists each year who suffer head injuries. And though helmets greatly reduce the risk of head injury, only 5% of children wear bike helmets.
During LMH's Kids' Day '94 on September 17, you can help change that. At Kids' Day you can purchase a bicycle helmet for just $13, compliments of LMH and the Kansas SAFE KIDS Coalition. This one-day event at Pinckney
