  4.     TOO TOUGH ON ABORTION

  6.     Louisiana's stringent law prohibiting most abortions would
  7. send doctors who perform them illegally to jail for up to 10
  8. years. Last week the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New
  9. Orleans struck down the law. Louisiana's attorney general,
  10. Richard Ieyoub, conceded that Louisiana "will have some
  11. difficulty" in defending its law if the state decides to appeal
  12. it to the U.S. Supreme Court. In a Pennsylvania case in June,
  13. the Supreme Court ruled out any restrictions that placed an
  14. "undue burden" on a woman seeking an abortion.
