Texas Georgia Ask Court For Abortion Rehearing
Washington AP. Gearg Texas filed a plea Friday urging the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling striking down key provisions of both state abortion laws. Georgia joined, asking for a rehearing that could delay implementation as petitions for review are usually denied. Officials argued the court overruled state controls and threatened to condone abortion by birth. The Georgia petition contends the court disregarded medical facts and hospital capabilities in evaluating abortion access and patient rights. Meanwhile, federal power forecasts project large increases in natural gas imports by 1975 and 1990 as utilities plan supply expansions.
