_ Pitchford not guilty in self-abortion trial

a, DIANA rvaoa
Associated Press Writer

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A jury
found a young Western Kentucky
woman innocent by reason of insanity
yesterday to a charge that she
performed an illegal abortion on
herself with a knitting needle.

The eight men and four women,
who heard three days of testimony.
deliberated less than a hour before
returning a verdict.

The defendant, Marla Elaine
Pitchford, 22, immediately burst into
tears. She did not take the stand in her
own defense, although attorneys had
indicated earlier that she would.

Spokesmen for both sides said the
verdict pointed up the need for
legislative re-examination of the law
under which Pitchford was
prosecuted. A prosecuting attorney

Vol. LXXI, No. II _
Thursday, August 31, I978

acknowledged that the courtroom was
filled with sympathy for the defendant.
including at the prosecution table.
The case is believed to be one of the
first in the nation in which a woman,

without the involvement of physicians. _

was charged with performing an illegal
abortion on herself. Pitchford faced a
prison sentence of IO to 20 years if she
had been convicted.

Pitchford said at a news conference
after the verdict that the trial
“definitely made me a stronger
person'and that the family is stronger
how. Her parents attended the trial
and appeared with her at the news
conference.

The trial gained national attention.
and Pitchford was asked if she
considered herself a symbol for the
women‘s movement.

“Maybe. if they want to make me
one.” she replied.

“I couldn‘t believe that they would
prosecute someone and put them in
jail for I0 to 20 years for something
like this.” she said.

The law under which she was
prosecuted was “not fair as it was
applied to me." she said. She said
legislators might want to specify in the
law that women are not to be
prosecuted.

Her attorney. Flora Stuart of
Bowling Green. said the people spoke

through the verdict and became‘the
final arbitrators of the law.

“We have shown the nation here in

Bowling Green that we will not send
a young girl under these conditions to
l0 years in prison.” Stuart said.
Pitchford said she planned to go to
Colorado for a rest and then hopes to
return to college, but not at Bowling
Green‘s Western Kentucky University,

which she attended previously.

Assistant Commonwealth Attorney
Tom Lewis. who was on the
prosecution team. said after the
verdict. “If there is a guilty verdict or
not guilty verdict. that is the end of
that case. We‘re starting to work on
the next case."

He said. “This trial was just packed
with sympathy _ for Marla Elaine
Pitchford.

“On the other hand I have an
obligation as a prosecutor to prosecute
people who violate a statute. I think
that this trial has been a good
experience in that. at the very least, it
will call to the attention of the state
legislature that there is a statute that is
in question."

He said the law should be clearly
stated so there can be no question of its
intent.

He defined the statute as a “poorly

Parking problems still
unavoidable for students

By F. JENAY TATE
Copy Editor

“Confusion headache pure
hell." Director of Public Safety Tom
Padgett‘s description of parking at UK
sounds familiar.

Although he has no solution to the
perpetual problem. Padgett said, some
of the hassle an be avoided.

The convenience of parking at
Commonwealth Stadium. he said. will
be enhanced by an additional bus
traveling the south route during the

peak hours of 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Depending upon the amount of traffic,
a bus should pass the Stadium lots
every six to eight minutes, Padgett
said.

For the next two or three weeks. the
buses will be unable to travel to the

innermost sections of the Stadium lots
because those routes are being
repaired. Padgett said. Instead. the
buses will stop along the outer
boundaries of the lot.

During other hours. the route is
served by four buses running from 6:30
a.m. to 6 pm. ‘

Only one bus serves on the north
route to the Student Center because
there are less people to 'carry, said
Padgett. It operates from 7:30 a.m. to
5:30 pm.

A clear understanding of parking
control should also prevent
unsuspecting violators from receiving
citations. according to Padgett.

“Many pe0ple think that during the
first week of school they can park
anywhere." he said, “but they can‘t.“

“A” and “B" lots are controlled ‘

between 7 a.m. and 5 pm, even during

A delegation of American
journalists and educators, scheduled
to go to the Soviet Union and Poland
in September. will cut their trip I0
days short because the Soviet portion
of the trip was eliminated.

In a telegram to the U.S.

cancellation was “due to the holding of
a number of significant international
events and gatherings in the autumn of
I978."

“The broad goal is increased

The “A” spaces on Adminsistration
Drive are reserved for permit holders
until 9 pm.

Patrolling of “C" and “R" lots do
not begin until Tuesday. Sept. 5. By
then. all permits will have been issued,
he said.

The R-3 lot near the Kirwan-
Blending Complex has been changed

from a daytime- to a 24-hour

controlled lot. Padgett said this
change comes in response to
complaints from dormitory residents
who could not find parking spaces.
The parking situation is worse
during the first week of school.
Padgett said. because a significant
number of students have a car for just
a week. It all makes for a difficult
situation, he said.

The slender. red-haired woman was
indicted June I4 on a charge of
performing an illegal abortion on
herself with a knitting needle.

Pitchford to a rigorous cross-

from prosecutors. said Kelly

The examination was removed from the office of the

Investigators also are studying allegations that detectives

Let’s stop ’ham-handed experiment’

Administrators in the medical and dental schools
at UK and the University of Louisville were relieved
last spring when the General Assembly failed to pass
bills that would have required the schools to admit a
certain number of students from the state‘s rural
areas.

One bill was watered down. with a final version
being approved that merely recommended that the
state Council on Higher Education work to increase
the percentage of medical and law students from
rural Kentucky.

The bills were defeated. as they should have been.
Strict admission quotas would have the effect of
lowering the standards of the state‘s medical
schools. and would have discriminated against
applicants who lived in Lexington. Louisville and
other Kentucky cities.

The issue seemed settled. until June. when it was
discovered that a clerical error in the state House
clerk‘s office allowed one of the measures to get into
the law books. although lawmakers had voted
against it. “It‘s a miracle.“ said Rep. Hoover
Dawahare. a Democrat from Whitesburg. who
sponsored the bill.

Dawahare‘s bill requires that 70 percent of the
students entering the U K or U of L medical or dental
schools come from the seven congressional districts,
apportioned by population.

Another 15 percent of the positions would be “at-
large“ state residents. Not more than l5 percent of
the class positions could go to out-of-state residents.
according to the law.

University administrators were aghast. Harry
Snyder. chairman of the Council on Higher
Education. has maintained that the law is not
binding. and has advised univeisities to ignore it.

The universities‘ position received support last
wcele from the Attorney General‘s office. The bill is
ille 1. said Assistant Attorney General David
C henoweth‘s opinion. not because it was written
into law erroneously. but because the bill has
unconstitutional provisions.

Chenoweth said that connsideration of an
applicant‘s place of residence for medical or dental
school enrollment is prohibited by the state
constitution. and cited a l9|7 case as precedent.

The bill violates equal protection requirements of
the US. Constitution. added Chenoweth. and it‘s
application to students “entering classes“ does not
specify whether only medical and dental schools are
involved. or whether the measure refers to entering
classes in all UK and U of L programs.

Kentucky statutes. the opinion continued. are
inoperative and void if they are ambiguous. A final
argument is the uncertainty in determining a‘
student's residence. as the law does not specify if
legal residence means where a person is born. or
where he is living at the time he applies for
admission.

There is no dispute over the good intentions ofthe
bill. Outside the major cities. there is a shortage of
doctors in Kentucky. But the way to improve the
situation is not to force medical schools to accept
less-qualified students. who may not even return to
their home counties after completing their
education. As such. the Dawahare quota measure is
only a ham-handed. arbitrary experiment in social
engineering.

The general principle involved. using preferential
treatment for a certain group of people. is
reminiscent of the justification for denying Allan
Bakke admission to the medical school at the
University of California at Davis. In its celebrated
decision this summer. the Supreme Court ruled that
discrimination against a student because of his race
violated guarantees of equal protection. If
discrimination is notjustified for race. why should it
be fair regarding place of birth.

It is becoming clear that the medical-dental
school admissions quota controversy will not be
settled without a lawsuit. The bill's sponsors. intent
on increasing the number of doctors in rural
Kentucky. are not about to abandonthe billafter its
miracle revival. ln researching the legality of the
measure. Chenowith found that previous cases of
bills being “mistakes" have shown that the bills are
valid. Dawahare and other politicians will rally
around that unfortunate aspect as they raiiy around
the bill before elections this fall.

And as long as Attorney General opinions are not
legally binding. UK and U of L must try to have it
declared illegal. Supporting Chenoweth‘s opinion.
UK Counsel John Darsie said he will recommend to
President Otis Singletary that the act be considered
void. and that UK not comply with the law.

There are better ways to bring more doctors and
dentists to rural Kentucky. Educational programs
in junior and senior high schools could be improved
to better prepare students for competition in getting
into medical and dental schools.

Counseling programs could be implemented to
foment interest in medical careers. and government-
financed programs could offer economic incentives

Queasy riders:

and perhaps even tax breaks for communities and
individuals who pay for bringing doctors to rural
areas. There is still much that can be done in the
private sector and in earlier years of education.

The number of medical and dental students at U K
and U of L is only the most visible aspect of the

   

“~4—

 

/ iiiiiii assistants was:

shortage of doctors in Kentucky. Forcing
universities to accept candidates who are not the
best qualified will not solve the underlying
problems. Also. such a simplistic answer will lower
the schools‘ standards and will do nothing to
improve the profession.

Day Three-New Mexico

We stopped off at an Indian
Reservation to watch a sacred indian
ritual dance. Harry started taking
pictures but then he stepped in a pile of
sacred cow manure and they chased us
off the reservation with sharp Words
and arrows to match. Now Harry‘s
shoes are sacred. And they sure smell

sacred. And the car smells sacred. too.

overgrown drainige ditch. Actually. it
must have cost the state millions to dig
this thing. Harry promised me I could

the wind shifted and l nailed this park
ranger right in the eye. As he turned to
see who did it. I loudly said. “Harry I
wish you‘d do something about your

hell.

Day Five—Hoover Dam

Hoover Dam was nice. We didn‘t
stay long. though. Water began
spilling through. That. as you well
know. is common for the spillways.
This water. however. was coming
through a hole about the size of Dick‘s
head at the top of the dam. And the
hole was growing (as is Dick‘s head).
