WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders have decided to delay until January a House vote to unravel President Barack Obama's health care overhaul and block federal money for Planned Parenthood, hoping to increase attention on their drive against two of conservatives' favorite targets.
The measure has already cleared the Senate, and House passage seems assured.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — A Belfast judge has ruled that Northern Ireland's government should ease restrictions on abortion because the prevailing law denies women the right to end pregnancies caused by rape or incest.
High Court Justice Mark Horner said politicians should pass a law permitting abortions involving fatal fetal abnormalities and sexual crimes. He said outlawing such terminations violated European human rights statues.
