The Congress, which reconvened Jan. 24 after a winter recess, will consider final passage of a bill that would ban partial-birth abortion, but it is unlikely to override an expected veto from President Clinton. Also, the Senate is considering a bill, passed by the House, that would give a fetus rights that are distinct from those of its mother when harmed in
a physical attack, news reports said.
...The Senate will discuss a bill to effectively overturn
Oregon's first-in-the-nation law allowing physician-assisted
suicide. The Clinton administration has said it may veto the
bill, which has been passed by the House.
