Parents speak against abortion bill
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The parents of a 17-year-old Indianapolis girl who they say died from a botched illegal abortion protest out yesterday was considered by a community for not being responsible by a community for the Kennecott Hogs.
Bill and Karen Bell, whose daughter, Rebecca, died of an abortion-related infection, said at a Statehouse news conference that if their daughter had lived in Kansas she would still be alive.
Kansas does not place restrictions on minors obtaining abortions. However, Indiana requires that minors get consent from a parent before they have abortions or that they receive a consent waiver from a judge. Bill Bell said.
He pleaded with Kansas legislators who are considering a parental notification bill to set aside their moral beliefs and political ambitions and consider the rights of young women in trouble.
One, backed by Gov. Mike Hayden, would require a minor girl under 16 who wants an abortion to notify one of her parents; but if she objects, her physician could ask a district court judge for a waiver of the notice requirement.
The House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard testimony yesterday about two parental notification measures before it.
The other bill, sponsored by Rene Artue Locals,
k-Highman, requires a bill to be passed in the House with his special bypass built into it.
Speaking with emotion, Bill Bell said he and his wife had provided a loving, functional home. Nevertheless, their daughter didn't feel she could confide in them that she was pregnant because she loved them too much to disappoint them.
Their daughter would have felt too intimidated to confront a judge and would have risked standing before an anti-abortion judge, Bill Bell said. And the father of the fetus told their

daughter to get out of his life, he said.
"Quite frankly, I find it sickening," he said.
"Teenage pregnancy can't be regulated by legislation," Bill Bell said.
the criticized televangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, who he said have "taken it on themselves to make decisions for the women of this country.
He said that bills in other states couldn't help girls from functional or dysfunctional homes. Nor would they work if the girl's father had impregnated her.
"Quite frankly, I find if sickening," he said. The Bells have testified before legislatures in Indiana, Michigan and New York. They plan to sue the city's mayor for cutting, Maryland, Oklahoma, Oregon and other states where parental consent or notification bills surface.
Wichita senator considers running for governor
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Denying that he is a one-issue candidate opposed to abortion, state Sen. Ery Stout of Wichita yesterday announced formation of a committee to study the budget. Gov. Mike Hayden in the Republican primary election in August.
he said Kansans can't stand another four years under Hayden, much less another eight years under former Gov. John Carlin, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
He also said Republicans needed to defeat Hayden in the primary because neither Treasurer Joan Finney nor Toppe minister Fred W. Phelps Sr. could beat Carlin in the Democratic primary to keep him from beating Hayden in the general election in November.
He said his immediate goal was to raise $20,000 to do some polling and pay other expenses of his
exploration effort. If that shows his challenge is viable, Yost added, he thinks he would need to raise at least $300,000 to run a credible primary campaign against Hayden.
Yost said he would file within a day or two the required papers with the secretary of state's office to conduct an exploratory campaign. He said the treasurer of his campaign was John Hennessey of Wichita, 4th District GOP chairman.
Yost, 34, has served six years in the state Senate and four years in the House of Representatives before that. He is an attorney.
Yost's announcements at news conferences in Wichita, the Statehouse and Overland Park prompted an immediate show of support for Hayden from the state party.
GOP Chairman Rochelle Chronister denigrated Yost's possible entry into the campaign for the
party's governor nomination.
"It's obvious Eric is a young man looking for something to do," she said.
state party Executive Director Cathy Whitaker hurried to the Capital soon after Yost's first announcement to distribute statements from the GOP State Committee and Sens. Bob Dole and Nancy Kassebaum endorsing Hayden for re-election.
Yost said that came as no surprise.
"I would expect Hayden to pick up most of the endorsements of the party hierarchy," he said.
He said he had his own supporters in the party, but declined to identify them.
"I would just hate to make them vulnerable to some of the attacks naming them would precipitate," he said.
Hayden's chief spokesman, Kathy Peterson, labeled Yost a one-issue candidate and said
Yost's allegations that Hayden had abandoned fiscal conservatism were ridiculous.
However, Yost said that he didn't mention his position on abortion in his announcement and that he had worked on many issues during his 10 years in the Legislature.
"I think it's safe to say I'm certainly a strong pre-life candidate," he said. "I would be willing to go as far as Webster allows states to go in regulating abortions.
"They can try to label me a one issue candidate, but I've been too involved in too many issues for that to stick."
He also said there had been a misunderstanding between himself and Wichita attorney Richard Peckham, a strong abortion opponent who has said Yost would not run for governor if Peckham did
Health campaign promotes tougher tobacco sale laws
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The state Department of Health and Environment announced yesterday that it is launching a promotional campaign aimed at getting merchants to observe more strictly the state law that prohibits the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products to children under 18.
The present penalty for selling those products to minors, or for minors purchasing them, is a maximum of one year in prison and $1,000 fine, but enforcement is spotty, health professionals conceded at a Statehouse news conference.
Education of merchants and young people may be the answer, said Stanley Grant, secretary of health and environment.
"Since the average age when people start smoking is 13, we hope that through a voluntary cooperative campaign to intervene in that cycle we can prevent Kansas youth from starting their future go up in smoke." Grant said.
The department displayed a packet of materials that it will distribute to businesses with the help of the Kansas and the Kansas Lottery.
Those materials include signs for merchants to post in their stores and stickers to be placed on cigarette vending machines, reminding their employees and customers that it is against state law to sell cigarettes and tobacco products to people under 18.
The message to merchants is that it is good policy not to sell to minors because it enhances the corporate image of businesses.
"Many of us, the merchants, retailers, local citizens and even the
media, can make a difference by discouraging the sale of tobacco products to minors." Grant said.
"We are not here today to bash business, but to ask them to make a commitment to the future. We must sensitize our local business leaders, and they in turn must sensitize their employees, that selling tobacco products to a minor is illegal. Equally illegal is the purchase of tobacco products by persons under 18."
Dr. Charles Konigsberg, director of KDHE's health division, said the goal is to make tobacco products less available to children.
"Since retailers and vending machines represent the main source of cigarettes for children, restricting the access is one approach to preventing the initiation to smoking," Konigsberg said. "If we are successful, we can significantly reduce the number of deaths associated with smoking."
Roberta Kundle, program director for the Lung Association, said laws against sale of alcohol to minors were well-enforced in Kansas but that those against sale of cigarettes, snuff and other tobacco products were not.
She said that the national goal is a smoke-free society by the year 2000, and that the focal point in Kansas presently is the generation that just entered school.
"We hope this will be the first class to graduate from high school without any smokers," she said.
Jenny Ransom, health promotion administrator for KDHE, said surveys in Kansas showed that nearly one-fourth of state youth had smoked a cigarette by the time they were in the 10th grade.
