Court bans certain abortions WASHINGTON (AP) — States may outlaw abortions performed outside hospitals on women more than three months pregnant, the Supreme Court ruled Monday. The decision was a significant victory for the “pro-life” or anti-abortion forces in the heated legal and political battle sparked by the Supreme Court’s 1973 ruling that legalized most abortions. Without waiting to conduct oral arguments or to write an opinion, the court voted 6-3 to uphold an Indiana law that makes it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion, other than a first-trimester one, away from a hospital. A doctor who runs a Gary, Ind., abortion clinic and three women identified in court records only by fictitious names sought to block enfor cement of the law. In separate action Monday, the court left intact Patricia Hearst Shaw's 1976 bank robbery conviction, turning away arguments that famed trial lawyer F. Lee Bailey gave her "insufficient" legal help. The justices refused to consider ruling that defense lawyers always fail to provide adequate legal help when they contract for the exclusive rights to write a book about a trial before it begins. Monday's denial, however, does not end Shaw’s attempt to overturn her bank robbery conviction. Her new lawyer now will have a chance to convince a federal judge that Bailey’s conduct "adversely affected" Shaw's chance of acquittal. The daughter of newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst and his wife, Catherine, Shaw was convicted of participating in the 1974 armed robbery of a San Francisco bank. —making the news— From Associated Press Reports BELFAST, Northern Ireland — A booby-trap bomb plant ed in a hijacked truck exploded in Belfast on Monday killing one policeman and injuring three others. The bombing, claimed in the name of the Irish National Liberation Army, followed the arrest of 20 prominent supporters of jailed hunger striker Bobby Sands. Sands, 27, a convicted Irish Republican Army guerrilla recently elected to British Parliament, was reported drifting nearer to death on the 58th day of his fast at Maze Prison. Northern Ireland’s security chiefs canceled all police leave as the British province prepared for widespread violence if Sands dies. In London, Scotland Yard said a letter-bomb sent to a Conservative member of Parliament was safely detonated but that it might be part of a new IRA offensive against prominent Britons. It was the second such mail-bomb in three days. A delivery truck, hijacked in central Belfast early Monday and rigged with a bomb, was driven into the predominantly Roman Catholic Andersonstown district where police found it. The bomb went off as they tried to move it, police said. WASHINGTON — Pres. Reagan, readying his return to public life, on Monday fine-tuned his speech to Congress, preparing to tell the nation that “the day of decision is near” for his economic program of tax and budget cuts. He worked on the speech Monday morning at the pre sidential retreat in Camp David, Md., before returning to the White House in the afternoon to meet with his chief speechwriter. Entering the executive mansion after the 30-minute flight home aboard a U S. Marine Corps helicopter, the president carried a thin briefcase bearing a red tag. He uttered a one-word response to a shouted question about how he felt, four weeks after he was shot in an attempt on his life: “Good. ’’ The president’s speech to a joint session of the House and Senate at 6 p.m. Tuesday is intended to apply increased pressure on Congress. O’ Neill says Reagan plan should pass WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres. Reagan’s economic program took two giant steps forward Monday as House Democratic leaders all but conceded they lack the votes to pass their own budget, and Republican sena tors neared agreement on a revised blueprint to accom modate the administration’s tax and spending cuts. With Reagan ready to deliver a nationally televised appeal for his program before Congress Tuesday night, Speaker Thomas O’Neill said a private head count shows “many Democrats" will vote to approve the president's budget plan. "I’ve been in politics an awful long time, and I know when you fight and when you don't,” said O'Neill. In the GOP-controlled Sen ate, Sen. Pete Domenici, R N.M., predicted the Budget Committee heads would meet Tuesday to approve a plan. Floor votes in both houses could come as early as Friday on a plan leaving room for heavy spending cuts as well as a three-year, across-the-board reduction in income tax rates requested by the president.
