House panel ap roves pregnancy care bill LANSING (UPI) - Overcoming Republican objections that the measure represents an attack on the family, a House committee yesterday approved a bill allowing minors to seek pregnancy related health care without their paren- ts' consent. "What we're really trying to do is get those young people in (for medical care) earlier," said Rep. Alma Stallworth, (D-Detroit), shortly after the House Public Health Committee sent her measure to the full House on 7- 0 3 vote. THE HEAVILY debated measure allows young pregnant women to obtain prenatal medical care for themselves and care for their children without parental authorization. The bill also grants doctors immunity from lawsuits by parents for treating the youngsters. While Republicans generally suppor- ted the concept, they wanted to amend the bill to require notification of parents after 30 days' of medical care. The move was defeated on a 6-4 vote. m"I think this could be viewed as one more step government is taking to break down the family unit," said Rep. Matt Dunaskiss, (R-Lake Orion) after the amendment's failure. "Just because the child is afraid to tell the parent, doesn't mean the parent isn't going 'to be sympathetic or suppor- tive," said Republican Rep. Wilbur Brotherton of Farmington, who spon- sored the amendment. However, Stallworth said Republicans supported the change "because of your narrow perspective of what life consists of." She said 4,000 minors gave birth in Detroit last year, suffering an infant mortality rate of 33 per 1,000 births. Rep. Veirn Ehlers, (R-Grand Rapids), had supported the notification requiement, but after its defeat he voted in favor of the bill, calling it a "pro-life" measure. Ehlers suc- cessfully sponsored an amendment making clear that the medical services available under the bill do not include ;:abortions.
