Joining Multimedia Ex-Girlfriend Sued To Halt Abortion Bid MARYVHXE, Tenn. (UPI) A Maryville man, saying he did not want the life of his unborn child "snuffed out," has obtained a court order to stop his former girlfriend from having an abortion. An attorney for James Earl Koerber 23, said the case will center on the father's rights in abor-tion cases. KOERBER received a temporary order last week from Circuit Court Judge James Jarvis restraining Elizabeth Gail Richardson of Blount County from having the abortion. Koerber said the baby was conceived in February.

The bearded, shaggy-haired Koerber stood vigil yesterday at a Knoxville clinic to see if his girlfriend reported. But Koerber, accompanied by two sheriff's deputies, was asked to leave by a nurse-practitioner at the Center for Reproductive Health. MISS RICHARDSON did not show up at the clinic for her 9 a.m. appointment "I believe in my heart that we're involved with a separate human life. I believe I have the right to interfere for the safety of my child rather than not interfere for the sake of someone's convenience for nine months," said Koerber.

"A father's genetic interest begins at the moment of conception," he said. "WE FEEL THE father has a common law right to decide if the life of his child should be snuffed out." said Maryville attorney Eugene case will test the father's rights." The attorney said he believes the father has the right to force the woman to have the child if he intends to assume complete parental responsibility. Dixon said his client is willing to assume that responsibility. "I will nurture, take care of, and protect my child. I don't have a choice this is what I have to do," he said.

protect my child" Koerber said he believes he has a good chance of winning his case. THE SUPREME Court in Wade vs. Roe in 1973 admitted they could not resolve the question of when life begins," he said. "It has since admitted that (the justices) failed to consider the rights of the father in abortion laws." University of Tennessee law professor Joseph G. Cook said he questioned the constitutionality of the restraining order.

"My best guess is that it's unconstitutional. If she wishes to have an abortion, she can't be stopped by her boyfriend," Cooke said. "WE ARE GOING to be saying that all the other cases do not apply because they have not dealt with the right of the father," Dixon said. Miss Richardson could not be reached for comment 4 (Turn to Page 13, Column 1).
