      <P>RICHMOND =97 The Senate Education and Health Committee lived up =
to its=20
      reputation last week as the graveyard for abortion-related bills =
sent over=20
      from the House of Delegates.</P>
      <P>The panel defeated House bills that would have raised the =
licensing=20
      standards on abortion clinics and would have removed mental health =
as a=20
      reason for allowing third-trimester abortions.</P>
      <P>However, the Senate committee approved a legislation requiring=20
      physicians to obtain parental consent before performing an =
abortion on a=20
      minor.</P>
      <P>The committee held an extended meeting Thursday to consider=20
      abortion-related legislation that had been passed by the House. In =
the=20
      past, anti-abortion bills have died in the Senate committee, which =
has a=20
      stronger Democratic presence than the House does. This session, =
the panel=20
      has eight Republicans and seven Democrats.</P>
      <P>On a 7-8 vote, the committee defeated House Bill 2367, =
sponsored by=20
      Delegate Robert G. Marshall, R-Manassas. The bill would have =
required=20
      abortion clinics to meet the licensing requirements for ambulatory =
surgery=20
      centers. Marshall said he introduced the bill to protect women =
having=20
      abortions.</P>
      <P>Victoria Cobb of Family Foundation of Virginia read a statement =
from=20
      Cindy W. Blosser, a registered nurse.</P>
      <P>"Cindy had a abortion and she became a registered nurse. She =
had no=20
      idea how a woman would be in danger when she undergoes an abortion =

      procedure," Cobb said. "There was no medical emergency equipment =
if a=20
      woman is in a life-saving situation."</P>
      <P>Testimony from Bennet Greenberg of Planned Parenthood Advocates =
of=20
      Virginia sealed the fate of the bill. Greenberg displayed a map of =

      Virginia, marking 18 abortion clinics in the state that would have =
to shut=20
      down under the bill's licensing requirements.</P>
      <P>"Only one abortion clinic would be able to meet these =
regulations under=20
      this bill," Greenberg said. "All others would be forced to shut =
down."</P>
      <P>Abortion rights advocates said clinics would have had to spend =
$500,000=20
      or more on renovations to comply with the bill.</P>
      <P>Sen. Richard L. Saslaw, D-Springfield, said he feared that =
under=20
      Marshall's bill, women would be denied access to abortion.</P>
      <P>The seven Democrats on the Senate committee voted against the =
bill.=20
      They are Saslaw, John S. Edwards of Roanoke, R. Edward Houck of=20
      Spotsylvania, Janet D. Howell of Reston, Benjamin J. Lambert III =
of=20
      Richmond, Louise Lucas of Portsmouth, and Mary Margaret Whipple of =

      Arlington. They were joined by Republican Sen. Frederick M. Quayle =
of=20
      Chesapeake.</P>
      <P>The other Republican senators on the panel voted for Marshall's =
bill.=20
      They are Harry B. Blevins of Chesapeake, Bill Bolling of =
Mechanicsville,=20
      Stephen H. Martin of Chesterfield, William C. Mims of Leesburg, =
Stephen D.=20
      Newman of Lynchburg, Russell Potts Jr. of Winchester, and Frank M. =
Ruff=20
      Jr. of Clarksville.</P>
      <P>"This committee, judging their motives, they have left women at =
the=20
      hands of people who say, 'Put your cash on the table, honey, =
that's all=20
      we're here for,'" Marshall said. "One abortionist did 22 abortions =
in=20
      three hours. Where's the physician-patient relationship? There is =
none.=20
      I'll be back again next year."</P>
      <P>The Senate committee also voted 7-8 against HB 1580, which =
would have=20
      eliminated a woman's mental health from consideration in deciding =
whether=20
      an abortion should be allowed after the second trimester. Again, =
Quayle=20
      joined the Democrats to defeat the bill.</P>
      <P>In Virginia, it is legal to perform an abortion after the =
second=20
      trimester if the doctor and two consulting physicians have =
determined that=20
      continuation of the pregnancy is likely to result in the woman's =
death=20
      substantially and irremediably impair her mental or physical =
health.</P>
      <P>Delegate Mark L. Cole, R-Fredericksburg, sponsored HB 1580. =
Saslaw said=20
      the bill was unconstitutional. "Mental health is just as important =
as=20
      physical health," Saslaw said.</P>
      <P>Greenberg said third-trimester abortions in Virginia are rare. =
"In the=20
      year 2001, there were 23,968 abortions; only four of those were=20
      third-trimester abortions," he said.</P>
      <P>The committee voted 10-5 to indefinitely delay HB 1499, =
sponsored by=20
      Delegate L. Scott Lingamfelter, R-Woodbridge. It would have =
required=20
      public health workers to notify parents after they treat minors =
for=20
      sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, emergency contraception, =
illegal=20
      drug use or severe depression.</P>
      <P>State and local workers would have two business days to notify =
parents=20
      or legal guardians by certified letters.</P>
      <P>"We need to involve parents in a useful and productive path. =
It's a=20
      good public policy," Lingamfelter said. He said parents have a =
right to=20
      know when their children are in trouble.</P>
      <P>Eleven opponents of the bill from several organizations spoke =
against=20
      the measure. Several senators said they fear the bill would =
discourage=20
      minors from seeking treatment. </P>
      <P>Potts, who chairs the Senate committee, said he had personal =
reasons=20
      for opposing the bill. </P>
      <P>"I grew up in a broken home, and I didn't have parents to count =
on to=20
      help me with monumental decisions," he said. He added that he had =
support=20
      from other adults, but not his parents.</P>
      <P>Republicans Blevins, Potts and Quayle joined the seven =
Democrats in=20
      voting against HB 1499.</P>
      <P>Also at the meeting, the Senate panel approved some significant =

      anti-abortion legislation.</P>
      <P>On a 9-6 vote, it endorsed HB 1402, sponsored by Delegate =
Richard H.=20
      Black, R-Loudoun, requiring parental consent for a minor to get an =

      abortion. Currently, only parental notification is required.</P>
      <P>The committee had HB 1402 conform with Senate Bill 1124, =
sponsored by=20
      Sen. Kenneth W. Stolle, R-Virginia Beach. Both bills require =
parental=20
      consent for abortions.</P>
      <P>Houck joined the eight Republicans in voting for the parental =
consent=20
      legislation.</P>
      <P>The panel also voted for HB 1541, which defines "partial birth=20
      infanticide." Abortion rights advocates say the proposal, =
sponsored by=20
      Marshall, is an attempt to outlaw a rarely used late-term abortion =

      procedure.</P>
      <P>The committee had Marshall's bill confirm with Senate Bill =
1205,=20
      sponsored by Newman, which has the same intent.</P>
      <P>Again, Houck joined the eight Republicans in voting for the =
"partial=20
      birth infanticide" bill.</P>
      <P>The committee was unanimous in endorsing one bill: HB 1833, =
sponsored=20
      by Delegate Gary A. Reese, R-Oak Hill. Under the proposal, women =
seeking=20
      an abortion would receive information that portrays adoption as a =
positive=20
      alternative.</FONT></P>
