House debates bill to curb teen abortion travel
In Washington a House hearing on a bill to ban out of state abortions for teens without parental consent sparked a clash over parental involvement laws. Proponents say it protects minors, while opponents warn it pushes girls toward dangerous, unmonitored options and endangers those seeking help. The measure targets nonparents who escort minors out of state for abortion, drawing White House and Senate scrutiny amid Clinton's stance on abortion rights.

Officials suggest a possible reassessment of U S mediation, while Vice President Gore reassures Jewish activists of an indivisible U S Israel relationship.
