Page 12-Tuesday, February 12, 1980-The Michigan Daily U.S. officials link four deaths to Medicaid abortion cutoff .*it WASHINGTON (AP) - At least four poor women have died as a result of the cutoff of practically all federal funds for Medicaid abortions, according to U.S. medical investigators. Investigators for the federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta said they have identified eight other deaths resulting from illegal or self- induced abortions that could not be linked to the termination of federal financing of abortions. Two of the eight were teenagers who were afraid to tell their parents they were pregnant. MEMBERS OF the CDC abortion surveillance team said a common ef- fect of the cutoff of federal funds in August 1977 has been a delay in poor women obtaining abortions, increasing the risk of complications. They also saw indications that some poor women who would have had government-assisted abortions are having their babies instead. CDC physicians said they at first ex- pected to find many more deaths direc- tly or indirectly linked to the cutoff of funds under Congress' Hyde Amen- dment, which restricts federal payment for abortions to cases where the mother's life is, in danger or the pregnancy results from rape or incest. THE DOCTORS expressed confiden- ce in their count, however, although they acknowledged it may not be up to date. The figures are lower than an- ticipated, they said, because the vast majority of women who would have received federally assisted abortions live in states that continue to pay for the procedures.

THE JUDGE, John Dooling Jr. 4 Brooklyn, found, in part, that the Hyde Amendment increased the risk of maternal deaths and caused some women to seek illegal abortions. He cited no cases, but 'CDC investigators said they had identified the following deaths: . Rosie Jimeniz, 27, whose death in Texas in 1977 after an illegal abortion performed by a midwife has been widely publicized as the first know fatality resulting from the Hyde Amen- dment. " A 21-year-old Louisiana woman who was eligible for health care under the Medicaid program for the poor, but who would not have been eligible for abortion funding because Louisiana stopped paying for abortions followingt the federal fund cutoff. Dr. Julian Gold, a member of the CDC's abortion surveillance team who investigated the case, said the woma inserted three cotton swabs into he uterus in an attempt to induce an abor- tion because she had only $10 in the bank and the abortion clinic three blocks from her home charged $150. She died of a massive infection. " A 34-year-old Florida woman who had had medical problems during earlier pregnancies. She put off having an abortion while she tried to find a facility that would sterilize her at th same time. She had a medicaid numb and apparently believed Medicaid would pay for her hospitalization if she were sterilized, even if it wouldn't pay for a simple abortion. She then contracted pneumonia, which further delayed the procedure, and she died during a legally performed abortion and sterilization that was complicated by the month-long delay. " A 37-year-old welfare mother in Georgia who already had six children and had told physicians and a soci4 worker she would attempt to induce labor if they refused to help her. One clinic rejected her, citing the Hyde Amendment; another said she was too far advanced in pregnancy and would require hospitalization. An investigation later indicated she had not been too far advanced for a simple outpatient procedure and had the money to pay for one. However, she returned home and after consulting physician about a surgical sterilization attempted to induce labor with a glass thermometer. She died of a blood clot that lodged in her lung.
