Significant barriers
all but block access
in a number of states
Authorities on the lookout for suspect in family attack
A manhunt was under way Saturday for a masked gunman
who set fire to his backyard bungalow before shooting five
members of a Southern California family, killing a father and
his 4-year-old son, police said.
Desmond John Moses, 55, went on the early morning
shooting rampage over a dispute with the victims, Inglewood
Police Chief Mark Fronterotta told a news conference.
Investigators believed Moses wore a dark cap and a white
painter’s mask when he entered the home and fired 10 times.
The 30-year-old father was shielding two of his children
when he was shot, Fronterotta said, and his 28-year-old wife
was shot in both legs but managed to carry the wounded
4-year-old out of the house.
Paramedics found her collapsed on the street. The child,
who suffered a bullet wound to the head, died at a hospital.
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — It’s legal to
get an abortion in America,
but in many places it is hard
and getting harder.
Just this year, 17 states set
new limits on abortion; 24
did last year, according to
the Guttmacher Institute, a
pro-abortion rights nonprofit
whose numbers are widely
respected. In several states
with the most restrictive
laws, the number of abortions
has fallen slightly, pleasing
abortion opponents who say
the laws are working.
Some of the states with
the toughest laws are spread
across a big middle swath of
the country, stretching from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
In South Dakota, which
has just one abortion clinic,
lawmakers want to extend the
required waiting period from
two days to three for women
seeking to end a pregnancy.
Next door in North Dakota,
there’s only one clinic. The
same is true in Mississippi,
where a new law threatens
that lone clinic’s existence. In
several states, doctors now
must warn women about
purported risks from abortion
that most scientists reject.
There are hurdles even
in states like Illinois, where
abortion laws are more lenient
and clinics relatively plentiful.
Patients arriving for
abortions at a Granite City, Ill.,
clinic can expect to find their
photographs on an anti-abortion activist’s website. And
before her abortion in June, a
Chicago woman says her own
gynecologist refused to offer
any advice, fearing that just
mentioning abortion could
endanger her job at a Catholic
hospital.
“The level and scope of
activity on abortion and family
planning is completely unparalleled to anything we have
seen before,” said Elizabeth
Nash, Guttmacher’s states
issues manager.
“The way people are attacking abortion is distressing
because they are getting much
more creative the way they’re
chipping away” at it, said Dr.
Renee Mestad, an OB-GYN
who provides abortions in
upstate New York. Access
to abortion isn’t much of a
problem there. But it was
where she used to work in
Missouri.

DENVER
Concert-goers stunned at Madonna’s use of guns in show
AP photo
Dr. Marvin E. Buehner helped overturn legislation in South Dakota banning abortions.
“The ideal thing would be
that no one gets pregnant
unless they’re ready — that
all pregnancies are desired
pregnancies, but that’s not
what happens,” Mestad said.
While surveys have consistently shown most Americans
support keeping abortion legal
in certain circumstances, many
people’s views are nuanced. A
Gallup poll last month found
nearly as many voters consider
themselves “pro-life” as those
who say they are “pro-choice.”
And a new Gallup poll
released Wednesday found
that nearly 40 percent of
female registered voters
surveyed in 12 swing states
consider abortion the most
important election issue for
women — outranking jobs.
President Barack Obama
supports access to abortion.
GOP challenger Mitt Romney
says Roe v. Wade, the Supreme
Court’s nearly 40-year-old
decision legalizing abortion,
should be overturned, which
would allow states to ban
abortion.
Anti-abortion attorney
Teresa Collett, a law professor
at the University of St. Thomas
in Minneapolis, says her ideal
would be “to live in a country
where abortion is not even
really thinkable.” She’d like to
see Roe v. Wade overturned,
but even if it is, she said, the
debate won’t end because it
would be up to states to ban
abortion.
Some seem to be moving in
that direction:
◆ More than 30 new
abortion laws have been
enacted this year, a record
topped only by the unprece-
dented 92 laws last year.
◆ Most states — 41 —
ban abortion after a certain
stage of pregnancy, generally
around 20 weeks, unless the
mother’s life or health is in
danger. In many of those
states, the bans are based on
a challenged premise that
fetuses that early can feel
pain.
◆ Pre-abortion counseling
is required in 35 states; 26
require waiting periods after
counseling, and in 13 states,
the counseling must warn
women about alleged risks
from abortion.
States within the nation’s
most restrictive region, the
midsection, include North
and South Dakota, which each
have only one abortion clinic
and have seen the number of
abortions drop slightly since
2008.
And they include Texas,
which has the most prescriptive counseling laws — requiring, among other things, that
doctors tell women abortion
is linked with breast cancer. A
group of scientists convened
by the National Cancer
Institute in 2003 concluded
abortion did not raise the risk
of breast cancer.
A Texas law passed last
year requires women to get an
ultrasound and their doctors
to describe the fetus. Texas
abortions also have dropped
every year since 2008.
Next door, in Oklahoma,
state authorities are fighting
court action blocking a law
with similar requirements.
Collett, the anti-abortion
attorney, has helped Oklahoma
defend the 2010 law. She says
it might lead some women to
change their minds.
While records from several
states with restrictive laws
show fewer abortions in recent
years, whether there has been
a true decline is uncertain.
Not all states track the rate —
the number of abortions per
1,000 women of reproductive
age. Pregnancies are down,
too, in many states, which
some experts link to a weak
economy.
Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar
Madonna used guns during a performance in a community
that is still raw from a mass shooting at a local theater and
a violent summer that includes the unsolved slaying of a
10-year-old girl.
Madonna’s second act at her show Thursday night at the
Pepsi Center in Denver featured the 54-year-old singer using
a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman and images of blood
splattering on a large screen behind the stage. She used the
set for her performances in other cities for the song “Gang
Bang,” which includes the lyrics “shot my lover in the head.”
ATLANTA
Experts trace meningitis outbreak to back-pain steroids
An outbreak of fungal meningitis has been linked to steroid
shots for back pain. The medication, made by a specialty
pharmacy in Massachusetts, has been recalled.
Reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show 23 deaths and 284 reports of illness in 16 states.
