...planning money to provide abortion counseling. Antiabortion legislators will also attempt to restore a series of prohibitions that Clinton overturned in his first week in office--among them, bans on fetal-tissue research and importation of RU-486, the French abortion-inducing drug. Clinton vetoes are expected, but, says Reed, some of the legislation is meant to be "veto bait," couched in relatively reasonable terms to give the impression that Clinton's abortion stance is radical...
...always on abortion, victory will go to the side that has the edge in framing the debate. Says Reed: "Anytime we can talk about the child, we win. Anytime we get off the child and start talking about technical issues or constitutional issues, we lose." It was with that in mind that Smith trundled his charts onto the Senate floor to describe the abortion method that, though rare, is exceedingly gruesome. Before the doctor kills the fetus, the trunk of the body has already been extracted from the birth canal. "The difference between the partial-birth abortion procedure and homicide...
...busiest hospitals in the U.S., may fall victim to emergency budget cutting that has its root causes in California in the 1970s but foreshadows grim national choices in the '90s. The dire prognosis for County-USC was delivered on Monday by L.A. County chief administrative officer Sally Reed. Saying that she wanted to "put reality on table," Reed announced that the county risked insolvency unless it could make up a $1.2 billion budget shortfall within a year. She suggested a raft of drastic measures: a 20% cut in services, the elimination of 18,255 jobs and the closing...
Within a day, 1,500 protesters gathered on the center's steps, chanting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho. Sally Reed has got to go.'' The huge hospital complex, which serves 60,000 overnight clients and 855,000 outpatients a year, is an island of security in violence-riven East L.A. If it were to close, smaller, private facilities might fail to replicate the quality of its burn center and trauma ward; or, most important, its commitment to the uninsured poor, who make up 40% of its customers. Already furious at California's anti-immigrant Proposition 187, local leaders see Reed...
...Reed, and a growing number of politicians who support her, held their ground last week. For three years, the county's revenues have lagged hundreds of millions of dollars behind its budgets, with the deficits covered through big-time borrowing. This year the lenders, spooked by the spectacular bankruptcy of nearby Orange County, seem ready to rebel. Within days of Reed's announcement, three major investment services warned potential buyers of L.A. County's bond issues that its credit rating was being reviewed or downgraded, an adjustment that could signal the start of a tailspin. Zev Yaroslavsky, a fiscally hard...
