Congress weighs partial birth abortion ban after high court ruling
Republicans in Congress prepared to rewrite a partial birth abortion ban after the Supreme Court struck down Nebraska's law for imposing an undue burden on women seeking abortion. President Clinton vowed a veto of similar measures, while Democrats like Gore opposed a ban, and Justice O'Connor suggested a constitutionally acceptable version could pass if it protects maternal health. The House and Senate move toward a conference committee to craft a revised bill ahead of the election.
