ATLANTA ATTORNEY TO ARGUE ‘MARY DOE’ ABORTION
Atlanta attorney Margie Pitts Hames will argue for the
abolishment of Georgia’s abortion law December 13 before the
U.S. Supreme Court in Washington.
In the case of Mary Doe versus Arthur K. Bolton, as state
attorney general, Mrs. Hames will seek to have the Georgia
abortion law declared unconstitutional, thereby giving the state
an abortion policy as unrestrictive as New York’s.
Georgia’s existing abortion law requires a woman seeking an
abortion to be a legal resident of Georgia, get written permission
of three private physicians and have the abortion approved by a
three-man committee on the medical staff of a licensed,
accredited hospital.
Mary Doe is the fictituous name of a 22-year-old Atlanta
woman who was 11 weeks pregnant when the complaint was
originally filed in the spring of last year. Mrs. Doe and her
husband were unemployed, their marriage unstable and during
the pendancy of the suit her husband abandoned her. Mrs. Doe
sought to terminate her pregnancy on grounds that she was
emotionally and economically unable to care for and support
another child. She is the mother of three children. Her third child
was placed with adoptive parents at birth and the other two
children were removed from her custody by state authorities
because of her inability to care for them.
Mrs. Doe applied for an abortion at Grady Memorial Hospital,
but after a period of 25 days the abortion was denied. A
subsequent application for an abortion through private physicians
at a private hospital was approved, but Mrs. Doe did not have
funds to pay her hospital bill in advance so she was unable to
obtain an abortion at a private hospital. Also, she was financially
unable to travel to some other state with less restrictive abortion
limitations.
More than one year ago, Mrs. Hames was successful in getting
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia to
declare as unconstitutional those parts of the Georgia law which
designated three reasons - health of the mother, rape or fetal
malformation - as the only criteria for an abortion.
The court also threw out the right of a relative of the unborn
child to sue for “the rights of the fetus” to prevent an abortion.
The court ruled that “reasons for abortion may not be
proscribed, but the quality of the decision as well as the manner
of its execution are properly within the realm of the state
control.”
State control over the “decision” of whether or not an
abortion can be performed is what Mrs. Hames is arguing against.
In a brief of the upcoming appeal, she called the present law
“vague and ambiguous.”
The case is being financed by the American Civil Liberties
Union of Georgia.

Forests And
The Hunter
ATLANTA (PRN) - If
you’re a hunter, you know the
impact that forests and
forestry management has on
wildlife. Loud cries from
outdoorsmen when they don’t
like what they see and hear
about forestry management
prove they have a very deep
concern about otir woodlands.
The deer and squirrel
hunters know how important
forests are to them. Without a
forest, where would you hunt?
Forests and forest
management is more
important to many a farm
game hunter than might
immediately meet the eye.
Farm game includes such
things as quail, rabbits and
doves... the kind of game
that will most likely be
hanging around cropland such
as com, peanuts, soybeans and
cotton.
The reason forests are so
important to the farm game
hunter is because, when
acreage is converted from
crops to timber, his hunting
area is diminished. In actuality
you’ll find a good bit of quail,
rabbits and doves in timber
land. They won’t be as
plentiful, and they’ll be much
harder to hunt. You won’t
find the game of this type very
prominent deep in the woods,
but in small openings and
meadows, and along the edges
of woodlands, you’ll likely
find quite a bit of hunting, if
rather difficult hunting.
The average deer and
squirrel hunter gets excited
when he sees timber being
harvested. He sees his hunting
lands diminish ... or at least
he thinks he does. What he’s
actually seeing is a change in
his hunting land. Growing
timber is a continual process,
the same as the farmer’s ijw
crops except that instead of
growing a new crop every
year, the timber grower takes
quite a few years to grow his
crop.
While he is harvesting,
however, he is putting that
land back into new timber.
For example, during the past
year, Georgia timber growers
harvested sl7s’million worth
of trees. Through the 12
Southeastern states, the figure
for tree harvesting was more
than $1 billion! These came
from some 200 million acres
of forest lands. At the same
time, nearly a half billion trees
were planted during the past
year.
The effect on the hunter?
It’s more or less two fold. In
some ways it isn’t as drastic as
he imagines. Yet in other ways
it may be more so.
Effect One: Clearcut areas
still provide good deer hunting
around the edges, producing
feeding areas for this species,
close to cover. At the same
time the clearcut areas provide
good hunting for quail and
rabbits, even doves, especially
around the edges since in
reality, these are “edge habitat
species.”
Effect Two: The number of
hardwoods decreases and the
number of pines increases.
Hardwoods provide food for
wildlife, pines don’t.
However, timber growers
are more interested in
hardwoods. Several companies
are leaving more and more
hardwoods when they harvest
pines. Some deal only in
hardwoods. And pines are
being planted, too. Os nearly
half billion seedlings planted
last year, 3.1 million trees
were hardwoods, including
such species as oak, gum,
black cherry, walnut,
cottonwood and yellow
poplar. Let’s hope the
hardwood gets more attention
in the future.

agents by Fund Chairman
James M. Menger of Augusta.
Augustans named to work
with members of their classes
in the 1971-72 fund campaign
were Henry J. Heffernan, Mrs.
J.W. Weltch, W.T. Ashmore,
Jr., Dr. T.L. Clary, Jr., Mrs.
J.W. Boyles, Frank S. Dennis,
Mrs. W.R. Rodgers, the Rev.
J.M. Corry, J.R. Blanchard,
John Trulock, Jr., Martin L.
Frantz, and Mrs. Gertrude K.
Arthur.
Out of town agents include
William Moore, Camak, Ga.;
James L. Skinner, Jr., of
Atlanta; Mrs. Maxine Shapiro
Goldstein, Milledgeville; Ernest
E. Mitchell, Savannah; William
A. Lovett, Evans; Mrs. K.W.
Parrish, Blackwood, N.J.; John
Sewel, Hephzibah; Mrs. Ann F.
Levy, Birmingham, Ala. and
Mrs. Mary K. Stelling, North
Augusta.
The main thrust of the first
annual alumni fund at Augusta
College will be for
participation, Menger said.
The total amount given will,
of course, be important, but a
large number of
participatants-alumni of all
ages, walks of life, and varying
interests-will demonstrate an
interest and a belief in what
our college stands for. We can
ask for nothing more
important than this.”
The campaign is of
particular significance this
year, he added, since AC has
been authorized graduate
programs in business and
education beginning next year.
“We must be ready to
provide those things necessary
for a quality program. The
success of the Masters
Programs will depend largely
on their being well capitalized
when they open.
“The growing support of the
business community, and of all
thoughtful CSRA city promises
a bright future for all areas of
higher education there, and
consequently for all of the
CSRA in the years ahead,”
Menger said.
Serving with Menger as
members of the Alumni Fund
Advisory Committee are Dr.
B.J. Bolgla, L.V. Cooper, Dr. J.
William Holden, Jr., L.M.
Holmes, J.C. Overstreet and
8.8. Whitaker.
