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