State puts abortion
consent into action
NATIONAL
JACKSON. Miss (AP) — Mississippi
has ordered doctors to immediately start
requiring parental consent before per
forming abortions on unmarried women
under1H
A federal appeals court in New Orleans
refused to reconsider its May lb order that me state s parental
consent law is constitutional, Hunt (.ole, a special assistant
attorney general, said Tuesday.
"This means our parental consent statute is now fully effec
tive as law." Cole said
The law was passed in 1986 but has been tied up in court
since a federal judge blocked its enforcement later that year
The state withheld notifying doctors of the law taking effect,
pending an appeal by a New York group
The 5th U.S. On uit Court of Appeals in New Orleans
refused on July 1 to rehear the c nse.
The law requires a doctor to obtain written permission from
both parents before performing an abortion on an unmarried
woman under 18. In cases of separation or divorce, a dot tor
must got consent from the custodial parent,
In addition, doctors are required to:
• Get permission of only the mother if the pregnancy was
caused by the father.
• Obtain an order from a chancery judge it tin* minor wants
to avoid getting the consent of parents. Such cases are confi
dential and a judge must rule in 72 hours.
The Center for Reproductive Law and Policy in New York
asked the appeals court to blo< k the law pending an appeal
to the U.S. Supreme Court. The appeal has yet to bo filed. The
high court, which has upheld parental consent laws hi other
states, doesn't return from summer recess until October
Catherine Albisa of the Center for Reproductive Law and
Policy said law vers are studying the possibility of filing a new
challenge in a Mississippi c ourt in an attempt to gel into court
sooner.
Mississippi has three clinics that perform abortions In addi
tion, a physician in Gulfport performs abortions. Jackson is
one of more than a dozen cities targeted for anti-abortion
protests from Friday through July 18.

House limits new student loan plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
House voted lost week to limit
President Clinton's plans to put
the government in the business
of directly making loans to col
lege students, but the vote may
have only symbolic effix t
By a roll call of 397-28, law
makers voted to limit direct fed
eral education loans to $22 mil
lion for the next four years
Clinton wants the government to
immediately begin lending the
entire $15 billion students cur
rently borrow each year in fed
eral Iv guaranteed loans from
banks.
The vote came on an amend
ment to the $2t>0 billion annual
spending bill for the depart
ments of Labor. Health and
Human Services, and Kdu< ation
The bill passed 305-124 and
sent to the Senate
The vote was considered svm
bolu bet.ause in a separate
deficit-reduction bill, the Senate
already has voted to phase in the
direct-loan plan much more
quit klv And the defii it-redui •
tion hill passed earlier hv ihe
House would begin Clinton's
plan tn full immediately.
Nonetheless, sponsors of the
measure approved Wednesday
said they hoped the vote would
pressure House and Senate
negotiators to phase down Clin
ton's proposal in conference.
They said the president's plan
would force the government to
borrow an extra Srt- it billion
over the next five years
"It simply doesn't make sense
to commit taxpayers to
billion in new debt and hiring
hundreds of new federal
employees without knowing
whether the program works."
said sponsor Rep Hart Cordon.

loans directly. because direct
government loans would elimi
nate the profils that banks now
warn on the loans As a result,
students could be charged lower
interest rates.
Savings also would result
because the government would
avoid the fees it now pays banks
for condut ting the business and
because it could do a better job
of tracking down people who
have defaulted, officials say.
Opponents — including
bankers who would lose hun
dreds of millions of dollars
annually — say Clinton's plan
would l»e risky and drive up fed
eral borrowing
