A Metrocrat is any person who promotes regional metro replace Constitutional Government. The Capitol at Washington, D.C., state capitols, county courthouses, city halls and of course the ten federal metro regions swarm with the breed. numbers of lawsuits filed by citizens are bringing erring public officials into court to answer charges. That alarms the Metrocrats causing them not only to test their existing fences but to build new ones. For instance, Metrocrats assigned to evaluate the situation which they regard fearfully have made the usual study" which now is being advertised to their kind as a nostrum to offset concern about recent court decisions that have gone against some officials. 1313s Political syndicate National Civic Review (New York) July 1977 reported that the issue of personal liability need not be alarming to public officials because case law provides either absolute or qualified immunity if good faith" is pleaded.

The Hatch alternative was offered as a compromise between the House bill which would have continued the subsidies for two more years and the Senate measure which would have terminated the With approval of the funding. Hatch plan, students will be guaranteed positions in U.S. schools for one more year despite their foreign education. Senator Hatch said, I was happy to offer this measure because I know it will help several Utah students, who are now in studying foreign medical schools,' to return to the United States. In the longterm, however, my colleagues in the Senate and the House agree, I believe, that the federal government should not be tampering with the selection process of our medical schools, Consequently, following this one year extension, the program will be terminated with the elimination of the federal guarantees to U.S. students schools." The Hatch compromise was by several medical supported schools including the University of Utah, University of California, Tulane Medical College, Yale University, . University . of Wisconsin, Northwestern University and Baylor University.

If the Section 1983 fixing" should come about, it would practically immunize governing officers to go free fearlessly to make any defamatory remarks they have in mind, As though attuned to the Metrocrats, Federal Circuit Judge Harold Leventhal, District of Columbia Circuit of the U.S. Courts of Appeals reportedly wrote that immunity for public workers from offenses such as libel or slander is needed so they can speak forthrightly and disclose violations. ( AP news report 9 16- 77 per (Central) Valley Times, Calif, issue of Sept. 29, 1977) Such absolute immunity is preferable, Leventhal reportedly said, to having public officials live in constant dread of retaliation.

Counseling is, at best, a farce since abortionists commonly withhold information about the preborn and about complications to the mother and future children. Spousal or parental consent is seldom, if ever, sought.

For example: If a legitimate surgeon were to advertise, give kickbacks or require cash at the door, his unethical activities would probably cost him his surgical privileges, perhaps even his license. Yet abortionists freely advertise and often give kickbacks to such groups as Planned Parenthood-Clergy Counseling Service of Los Angeles which, in 1972, received $250,000 for abortion referrals. abortionists And, though may do some Tree abortions for public relations purposes, they routinely require - post-operati- ve mandatory. In abortion mills, even though of the women hemorrhage so badly they need transfusions, such service is rarely available. Women may be sent home within hours after D&C abortions.

In abortion chambers, any licensed physician, surgeon or not, may operate. Ifhehasnum erous he is virtually complications, unstoppable. And in most cases there are not even state regulations to ensure that the chambers themselves are sanitary and safe. Such evidence should cause even those who are not active prolife people to oppose operation of profit-makin- g abortion chambers.
