- Abortions stabalizing.

TORONTO (CP) — Now

abortions is finally levelling
off ‘have many women's
rights advocates concerned.

/“We all think abortion is a
last resort,” says Betsy Carr,
an executive of the National
Action Committee on the
Status of Women.

“If the increase is levelling
off because of better ‘edu-
cation and fewer unwanted
pregnancies and fewer wom-
en in distress over this, it
would be a good sign.

‘If it's been down because

there has been pressure on

hospitals to get rid of their
therapeutic abortion commit-
tees, then: that's not a good
reason.”

to selling homes.

The 32-year-old real estate
agent is a driving force be-
hind an effort to alleviate the
suffering of victims of the
rare, painful and crippling
skin disease that, until this
year, was mostly of concern
only to its victims and der-
matologists.

“It started with an article 1

paper about a little boy down
in Florida, called the Crisco
Kid,” MacDonald explained
in an interview.

The boy, Michael Ham.

mond, suffered from the dis-
figuring disease, which raises
scarring blisters on the skin.
His nurses soothed his pain
with shortening.

“It really upset me, that
terrible plight that this little
boy was in,” said Macdonald,
father of two chlidren.

VISITED VICTIM

He started a personal cru-
sade against the disease. He
even went to Florida to visit
the boy, steeling himself
against the sight of his rav-
aged body, and set out to find
help.

Macdonald is an achiever.

Large insurance payout

CALGARY (CP) — Bob
Rogers was out in his back-
yard last July 28, a tempting
aroma from the barbecue
mingling with the warm
summer air,

It should have been a deli-
cious end to the day, until a
glowering storm gathered on
the horizon.

Minutes later, Rogers, re-
gional claims manager for
Allstate Insurance, was hud-
died indoors like thousands of
other Calgarians.

For 20 minutes, small
hailstones rained into his
backyard, then quickly
melted.

Little did Rogers realize
that most of his summer was
to disappear as quickly as the
hailstones had melted. The
storm would result in the
largest insurance payout for
a natural disaster in Cana-
dian history.

And the staff of 23 major
insurance companies in Cal-
gary would not be the only
people to say goodbye to the
summer.

Roofers, glass repairmen
and bodyshop employees
would have more work than
they could handle.

SWATH OF DISASTER

Rogers was lucky. He
didn't feel the brunt of the
storm. In other parts of the
city, hailstones ‘the size of
baseballs cut a swath of dis-

aster, smashing windows,
denting cars and damaging
roofs, One person was killed

“It was decided we would

So Linda Pasula was chosen
to go.”

There were delays at first
because Kozak's clinic was
closed temporarily. Macdon-

and talked to Kozak.

He sought out former pa-
tients to confirm Kozak's
claims.

“Beyond a shadow of a
bout, Kozak had treated

else had even been remotely
successful," he said. “The

CONCERNED FOR

Karen Hammond, a Tor-

ident of the Canadian Abor-
tion Rights Action League,
said she is concerned about
whatis happening to women
who would normally use the
abortion services of hospitals
which no longer offer them.

“We've always stressed
that you don’t reduce the

abortion rate by denying ac-

cess.’

Hammond sald.

The Quebec government

already has established such | |

clinics, she said. But the
Ontario Health Ministry has
rejected two proposals for
women's helath clinics on the ,
grounds they are too ex-
pensive. ~

Hammond gave examples
of difficulties Canadian wom-
en have in obtaining abor-
tions. In Newfoundland, for
example, only one doctor in
St. John’s performs abortions
“and he only does them one
morning a week.”

“There are some provinces
where an abortion is virtually
unavailable,” she said. “The
way the law is set up, it
almost prevents small hos-
pitals from having a com-
mittee, because there have to
be four doctors involved."

“At least three doctors
have to be on the committee.
and none of them can per:
form the abortion.” *

Hammond said she also is
concerned that financially
constrained hospitals with
abortion committees have

some were more dogmatic.
