<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The latest New England Journal of Medicine has an
article (and a short perspective article) on the state of abortion in the
USA. In general, the tone seems to try to be objective, but ends
pro-abortion. The NEJM has started taking a strong political tone in the
last few years, usually anti-life when it discusses the issues of euthanasia and
abortion.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Abortion veterans like Carhart fear that Roe may
soon be overturned. If that happens, states will have to choose whether to ban
or protect abortion. Most have abortion laws on their books, but they are
superseded by Roe, as long as it survives. Antiabortion activists are split on
whether they should try to overturn it. After Governor Rounds signed the South
Dakota ban into law, his approval rating dropped 12 percent. Most of the public
still support some form of abortion: polls show that 66 percent of Americans
believe that abortion should be legal in the first trimester and that they
overwhelmingly support abortion in cases of rape, endangerment of health, or
serious fetal anomalies. Yet in 2006, legislators in 12 states introduced bills
that would ban nearly all abortions; as of early June, the governor of Louisiana
was poised to sign a ban similar to South Dakota's, which will go into effect if
Roe is overturned.</FONT></DIV>
