Group files suit against government
United Press International
NEW YORK — The Planned Parenthood Federation of America filed a federal suit Tuesday to prevent the Reagan administration from withholding funds to overseas family planning groups that are involved with abortions.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, charges that it is unconstitutional and unlawful for the U.S. Agency for International Development to withhold funds from foreign, non-governmental organizations that counsel, make referrals for or advocate abortions.
Under the policy initiated by the Reagan administration in 1985, even organizations that use their own money for abortion programs but receive AID funds for other programs would lose those funds.
"The policy will rob American citizens overseas of their First Amendment rights to speak out on family planning issues — either by counseling women about available choices or by advocating the protection of this basic human right." Faye Wattleton, president of Planned Parenthood, said.
She said Planned Parenthood, which received $17.7 million from AID for foreign programs last year, would refuse to sign an "abortion clause" necessary to continue its AIID funding agreement after it expires Dec. 31.
"To be truly effective, medical professionals must inform parents of their full range of alternatives. To do otherwise is simply bad medicine." Wattleton said.
Nearly all the money the organization spends on family planning programs overseas comes from AID, said Spokesman for Planned Parenthood.
AID maintains its actions are not unconstitutional because although organizations such as Planned Parenthood may be U.S.-based, they administer their programs through foreign organizations."
AID was founded by President Kennedy in 1961 to provide health and emergency assistance to foreign countries. Beginning in 1968, it provided funding for family planning programs, including those involved in abortion.
In 1973, however, the Helms Amendment stopped AID from funding any foreign non-government program involved in abortion.
The Reagan administration broadened that prohibition in 1985 to include foreign non-government institutions that had any tie with abortion.
"We are confident the courts will uphold the legality of our actions, as they have done previously," said AID spokesman William Outlaw.
Through AID, the United States contributes about half of all the funding for foreign family planning programs. Last year, AID spent $240 million to provide family planning assistance in 80 countries.
Anti-abortion group tips police
Arson suspect arrested
United Press International
ROCKFORD. Ill. — A tip by an anti-abortion group that has picketed a clinic hit by five suspected arson fires led to the arrest of a high school janitor, an official said Tuesday.
David Holman, 57, was arrested Monday by U.S. marshals and charged with the possession of arson in a fire that did $3000 to Northern Illinois Women's Center.
Dean Redman, a Rockford fire official, said the information on Holm came from someone associated with the police and that groups that has picketed the clinic.
"The pro-life groups provided us with key information in helping solve
Anti-abortion groups denounced the clinic and vowed to shut it down when it opened at its current location in February 1986. Five suspected arson fires have occurred at the clinic, four in 1986.
this case." Redman said. "They were very cooperative and helpful. They deserve a lot of credit."
"We're strongly opposed to any action which endangers a life, which these fires did," said Kathy Lewis, director of Operation Jericho. "It's nice for once that you have pro-life groups instrumental in helping to solve this sort of thing instead of having the finger pointed at us."
Holman is alleged to have set fire to the building when it was vacant.
and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of further charges against him.
The building owner, Wayne Webster, had installed a video camera near the clinic at the suggestion of federal and local authorities, and Holman allegedly was caught.
"The suspect was taped (by the video camera) setting one of the fires and we took the tape around and showed it to pro-life groups," Redman said. "They notified us they had intention as to who was setting the fires."
Holman allegedly piled a garbage bag of combustibles — trash, bottles and other materials — against a door of the clinic and set it on fire.
