Abortion opponents gather for protest WAonllNUluN (AP)—As Con gress moves closer to banning some rare late-term abortions, abortion op ponents gathered in the nation’s capi tal for their annual march to the Su preme Court to protest its landmark Roe v. Wade decision 23 years ago. The abortion debate appears to have taken a back seat to budget and tax matters in this presidential election year. Nonetheless, it remains one of the most emotional and divisive pub lic and political issues facing Ameri cans. Thousands of abortion opponents from across the country have planned to rally near the White House at lunch time Monday before marching to the Supreme Court, as they have done every year since 1974. The event comes as Congress is moving closer toward dealing a major blow to the 1973 court decision by prohibiting a specific abortion proce dure used in late-term pregnancies. The Senate and House have each voted to ban the rarely used proce dure, marking the first time since Roe v. Wade that Congress has acted to prohibit a specific abortion method. Differences in the House and Senate versions ofthe bill must be reconciled before it can be sent to the president. President Clinton has threatened to veto any such legislation. Meanwhile, abortion rights sup porters were marking the anniversary as a day to celebrate. I-^ “It ivill be a lifelong struggle. ” CARDINAL BERNARD LAW Archbishop of Boston “Twenty-three years ago (the court) saved women from the shame and degradation of back alley abortions,” said Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League. “And yet today the freedom of choice is in more jeop ardy probably than at any other time since,” she said. The 1973 court decision declared that women’s unrestricted access to abortions during the first three months of pregnancy was part of the constitu tional right to privacy. Cardinal Bernard Law, Archbishop of Boston, called the ruling “tragic.” Justice for unborn children who can not speak for themselves can be achieved only through a combined effort to change laws, attitudes and the “dire circumstances” that lead some women to contemplate abortion, he said. “It will be a lifelong struggle,” pre dicted Law, chairman of the Commit tee for Pro-Life Activities of the Na tional Conference of Catholic Bish ops. ^-1 Nebraskan http://www.unl.edu/DailyNeb/ FAX NUMBER 472-1761 The Daily Nebraskan(USPS 144-080) is published by the UNL Publications Board, Ne braska Union 34, 1400 R St., Lincoln, NE 68588-0448, Monday through Friday during the academic year; weekly during summer sessions.

ALL MATERIAL COPYRIGHT 1995 DAILY NEBRASKAN Arafat triumphs in election GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Winning 88 percent of the vote, Yasser Arafat emerged Sunday from the first Palestin ian election with a resounding mandate to complete peace with Israel and lead his people to in dependence. Final results of the race for presidency released by the Cen tral Election Commission late Sunday gave Arafat 88.1 per cent of the total vote and his opponent Samiha Khalil 9.3 per cent. Officials said that 2.6 per cent of the ballot slips were in valid. Arafat loyalists will also con trol the newly elected 88-mem ber Palestinian parliament. Despit e the historic event, the mood in the West Bank and Gaza Strip was subdued Sunday as Palestinians began to observe the Muslim holy month of Ramadan with dawn-to-dusk fasting. Arafat joked Sunday about his landslide victory, suggesting a lower rate of approval would probably have looked more democratic. “I was looking for 51 percent,” Arafat said after meeting with former U.S. Presi dent Jimmy Carter, who led a 40-member election observer team. The voting was marred by reports of fraud, violations that ranged fromstuffingballot boxes to voting more than once to illit erate voters having their ballots filled out for them by Arafat loyalists. Carter said Sunday there were problems in the voting, but not on a scale that would have al tered the outcome.
