{"title":"Court lifts ban on enforcing Miss. anti-abortion law.","authors":"L Denniston","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"A federal court order yesterday made Mississippi the first state to get permission under the Supreme Court's new abortion ruling to start enforcing a law designed to limit women's rights to end pregnancy. Without saying why, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans put into immediate effect a ruling it had issued just hours earlier permitting Mississippi to carry out an antiabortion criminal law that had been passed last year over the governor's veto. State prosecutors said they would start enforcing the law at midnight Saturday. They set that deadline after the appeals court refused a plea by 2 clinics and 2 doctors to delay its ruling for at least a month. The law requires doctors to wait for 24 hours to perform an abortion, with only a narrow exception for medical emergencies. It also requires doctors to give pregnant women advice--before they can get an abortion--about financial aid if they continue the pregnancy and have a baby, about the age of the fetus they are carrying, and about the medical risks of abortion and of carrying the pregnancy to term. The Mississippi case was the first one in which lawyers had a chance to debate the effect on other states laws of the Supreme Court's latest ruling about 5 weeks ago, in a Pennsylvania case. Lawyers challenging the Mississippi law contended that it is more restrictive than similar provisions of Pennsylvania antiabortion laws that the Supreme Court tentatively upheld in its June 29 decision. In the Pennsylvania ruling, the Supreme Court spelled out by a 5-4 vote a more relaxed constitutional standard for judging state abortion curbs. Under the Mississippi law, the 24-hour wait for an abortion would apply even in most medical emergencies confronted by a pregnant woman. The only time it would not apply was when the pregnancy threatened immediate loss of some bodily function. Pennsylvania's law would allow doctors more discretion in emergencies to go ahead with an abortion. The Mississippi law forbids doctors to avoid giving the mandated advice, even if the doctor believes that the advice itself posed a psychological risk to the woman. There is no \"therapeutic exception\" to the duty to give the advice, while there is in the Pennsylvania law. Although the advice mandated in Mississippi includes assurances that, if the pregnancy continues to birth, the father will be obliged to provide support, lawyers for the challengers offered evidence that only 5% of the women in Mississippi seeking child support from fathers get it. The appeals court in New Orleans said it would explain its action on the Mississippi law in a formal opinion later. Its 2-sentence order simply wiped out a federal judge's year-old order for forbidding Mississippi to enforce its law. The appeals court also gave no immediate explanation for refusing to postpone its ruling.

Albanians accuse Serbs of waging demographic war, flock to secret birth clinics. 阿尔巴尼亚人指责塞尔维亚人发动人口战争，涌向秘密生育诊所。

{"title":"Albanians accuse Serbs of waging demographic war, flock to secret birth clinics.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Even giving birth has become a political issue in the tense Yugoslav province of Kosovo. Although ethnic Albanians in the province outnumber Serbs by nearly 10-to-1, they live 2nd-class lives. One ethnic Albanian midwife who lives near the capital of Pristina says that 1500 babies have been born in her spare room during the past 20 months to women who preferred to take risks rather than go to Serb-run clinics. Women who come to the midwife--she did not want her name used or even the name of her town mentioned--give birth on a narrow cot covered with 2 soiled plastic sheets. They clench their teeth to stifle the pain--the midwife saves her meager supply of anesthetic for severe cases only. Next to the cot is a small cradle, but otherwise there is no sign that the room with its sofas and cabinets is a maternity clinic. Albanians have a birth rate of 34/1000 residents--Europe's highest. In Kosovo, about 200,000 Serbs are outnumbered by 1.8 million albanians, in the land Serbia cherishes as the cradle of it civilization. The Serbs say they are being swamped by Albanians, and in the past 10 years, waves of Serbs have left Kosovo, Yugoslavia's poorest province. At least 2000 have left in the past 12 months. But ethnic Albanians say it is the Serbs who practice demographic warfare. After a period of unrest in mid-1990. Serbian forces clamped down on an Albanian independence drive. Albanian doctors and nurses were fired. The gynecological clinic in Pristina lost some top specialists. \"They did it to change the demographic map of Kosovo--to discourage Albanian births,\" said Dr. Flora Doko, president of the health committee of the Democratic League--the main Albanian opposition party, which has formed a government-in-exile and seeks independence for the province. Unconfirmed reports of Albanian babies being positioned in hospitals further inflamed the atmosphere in the suspicious society. There is no law discriminating against Albanians in medical care, but they claim unofficial laws make them unwelcome. Momcilo Trajkovic, a member of the Serbian parliament, said Albanians were welcome in hospitals and those who chose to give birth at home did so out of nationalism. \"Not everybody boycotts the hospitals,\" he said. \"The sick don't think of nationhood.\" But Albanians clearly feel a need for secret clinics. The midwife displayed her records, painstakingly handwritten in an old ledger. \"If you could see some of my cases, you would have cried,\" she said. One woman ran away from a hospital when she discovered there were no Albanian doctors there and came to Dr. Doko for help. \"I said \"go to hospital\" and she said \"I don't want to go, I want to die in you hands,\" Dr. Doko remembers. THe woman had a son, delivered safely by Caesarean.","PeriodicalId":85605,"journal":{"name":"Sun (Baltimore, Md. : 1837)","volume":" ","pages":"5A"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22014421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The mushroom message.","authors":"M Zimmerman","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"A basic law of ecology is that living things are tightly dependent on one another, often in ways that are not easy to imagine. Who, for example, would have predicted that when the last dodo was killed in 1675, that death would lead to the slow extermination of the tambalocoque tree, whose fruits germinate only after passing through the dodo's digestive system? Now no natural strands of tambalocoque younger than 300 years can be found. Or who would have predicted that clear-cutting tropical rainforests would so significantly alter local weather patterns that the tropical rainforest biome itself and its vast diversity of life might not survive? Such interactions are worth noting because of the possible ramifications of a phenomenon that ecologists have just begun to document. Mushrooms worldwide appear to be in a catastrophic state of decline. Throughout Europe, in countries with terrains as diverse as Holland, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and England, wild mushrooms are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Those fungi that are found are significantly smaller than those found years ago. Preliminary data suggest that the same troubling situation is occurring throughout North American as well. The decline has been so precipitous that biologists have begun to refer to it as a mass extinction. The 2 obvious explanations for the demise of the mushrooms--habitat destruction and overpicking of edible types by an ever growing human population--have been ruled out. Sophisticated sampling schemes designed by ecologists control for the fact that there is less land available for wild mushrooms; they have been declining at a rate that far exceeds the rate at which land is being developed. The fact that the decline has affected both edible and inedible mushrooms equally indicates that humans hunting for tasty treats are not the main cause of the problem. The loss of wild mushrooms worldwide might not seem like that big a deal, but the consequences may well be grave because of the way those fungi interact with other life forms. If the mushrooms die off, ecologists fear that our forests may not be far behind. Many mushrooms live in close association with trees; the mushrooms provide the trees with water and minerals while the trees supply the mushrooms with carbohydrates. The mushrooms' underground filaments often extend much deeper into the soil than do the roots of trees, thus making available to trees resources that would otherwise be unusable. Ecologists have found that trees lacking mushrooms are significantly more susceptible to environmental stress than those growing with the fungi. Eef Arnolds, an ecologist specializing in mushrooms at the Agricultural University of the Netherlands thinks that \"severe frost or drought could lead to a mass dying of trees.\" Although the cause of the decline has not be pinpointed, most experts believe that the mushrooms are responding to abnormal atmospheric levels of nitrogen, sulfur,","PeriodicalId":85605,"journal":{"name":"Sun (Baltimore, Md. : 1837)","volume":" ","pages":"11A"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22014372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
