Mississippi Exhibit A in abortion debate shows statewide restrictions
Outside Mississippi's lone abortion clinic protesters and quiet waiting rooms mark a landscape of firm laws and community pressure. The Jackson Women's Health Organization sees rising client numbers as opposition targets its operation, while advocates argue Mississippi embodies the future of abortion restrictions. Abortion figures fell sharply after 1991, from 8,814 to 3,605 in 2002, with declines attributed to more contraception use, patients seeking services in other states, and persistent antiabortion activism shaping policy and public opinion.

Ukrainian premier Yanukovych refuses to concede election
Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych refused to concede defeat in the presidential vote and pledged to challenge the result in the Supreme Court. He claimed millions were disenfranchised by new laws and called the election unfair while Viktor Yushchenko led with about 52 percent after 76 of ballots counted. OSCE observers said the vote was largely fair though with shortcomings.
