...Jimmy Carter, a Democratic contender, is peppered with the question time and again. Though he personally opposes abortion, he supports the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing it-but some critics claim he had been ambiguous before the Iowa precinct caucuses (see PRESS). On the stump, Indiana's Birch Bayh is plagued by anti-abortion demonstrators who decry his leadership last year in the Senate against a constitutional amendment that would have outlawed most abortions. Sargent Shriver does not favor overturning the Supreme Court decision, but proposes setting up "life-support" centers to counsel women seeking abortions on whether...
...average contribution to the Bayh campaign is less than $100, and many donations are in the $20 to $25 range. Because of personal connections, Feldman had little trouble collecting the first $100,000, even though he had to raise at least $5,000 in small donations in 20 states to qualify for matching funds.

...meantime, Bayh supporters have been holding small parties and receptions for potential donors in such states as California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. But a series of dinners organized in New York on Jan. 22, Bayh's 48th birthday, netted only $50,000. If Bayh has any hope of surviving the costly primaries, he is going to have to bag a lot more lean cats...
