| Transcript | page 7 First, please support (S. 1708, the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act in the Senate) (H.R. 6021,6222, and 6601, the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act in the House of Representatives). Please support this legislation without any crippling anti-sterilization or anti-abortion amendments which would limit freedom of choice. Second, please oppose any attempt to amend the United States Constitution in any way that would affect the current sterilization and abortion situations in the United States. I favor the current situation which forces no one to be sterilized or have an abortion, but which treats both sterilization and abortion as medical matters between physician and family. Third, please urge members of the House-Senate Conference Committee on the Social Security Amendments of 1973 to delete the Buckley Amendment. This amendment would prevent women receiving welfare from obtaining abortions under Medicaid. It would mean more unwanted children, perpetuation of poverty and higher taxes. Medicaid should be able to continue to pay for abortions. Thank you for what I know will be your thoughtful consideration of these issues. Sincerely, U.S."Senators: Lloyd Bentsen, Jr. John Tower U.S. Representatives District 7 —Bill Archer 8--Bob Eckhardt 9--Jack Brooks 10--Barbara Jordan 22--Bob Casey ON THE LOCAL FRONT The Houston Public Library is now passing out "right-to-life" literature, complete with gory pictures and misinformation. Since the library is a tax-supported institution, it is inappropriate, at best, that the public library serve as a distributor of such material. If this material appears in your neighborhood branch library, complain to the librarian, then write a letter of protest to Mr. David Hennington, Director, Houston Public Library, 500 McKinney Ave., Houston, Tx. SOCIAL SECURITY FOR HOUSEWIVES Reps. Barbara Jordan and Martha Griffiths have introduced legislation that would provide the same Social Security benefits for housewives now held by self-employed workers, including disability |
