Middletown legal push aids health care sites opposed to abortion
National and state efforts expand to shield hospitals doctors and pharmacists from abortion related duties on moral grounds. A House provision bars authorities from requiring abortion services payments or referrals even in emergencies. Mississippi's July law tightens conscience protections for providers. Pharmacists for Life push refusals to dispense emergency contraception. Critics warn of growing organizational momentum and risk to patient access.

Senate committee rejects Bush overtime rules in clash
The Senate Appropriations Committee blocked Bush overtime changes by 16 to 13, with two Republicans joining Democrats. The measure, added to a labor health education spending bill, would require overtime pay for many workers up to $23,660 and was opposed by White House officials who vow a veto if it remains. The debate centers on whether about 6 million workers would lose or gain overtime eligibility under the rules.

Court allows church to be closed in Boston
A Superior Court judge refused to block the Boston Archdiocese from closing St. Albert the Great, one of 82 parishes affected by financial fallout from the clergy sex scandal. Parishioners’ suit sought an injunction to stop selling church assets, but the court found no state role in church matters. The sit-in and around the clock prayer vigil continued as archdiocese officials aim to end the occupation.

Chancellorsville battlefield portion saved from development
In Virginia’s Spotsylvania County a 140 acre core of the Chancellorsville battlefield will be preserved after a deal with developer Tricord Homes. The Civil War Preservation Trust calls the agreement a model for protecting sites. The trust will pay 3 million dollars for the land. Tricord will forfeit retail space and set back homes while Spotsylvania officials permit 294 adult homes on three parcels, pending board approval.
