"I don't think the court wants to reach out unnecessarily in this case. The way review was granted confirms that intuition." Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe also predicts the court "may well avoid the ultimate issue" and instead adopt a new standard under which "most restrictions enacted by the states would be allowed." In competing appeals. Pennsylvania officials and abortion clinic operators in the state invited a broad high court ruling. The court, however, passed over their sweep Wade would spark a "pro-choicbacklash in this year's elections. But they also fear that a murky ruling might gut the 1973 decision without saying so directly, leaving voters confused. There is widespread agreement among activists on both sides that e" , the court's decision will make abortions more difficult to obtain even if the court stops short of overturning Roe vs. Wade. Georgetown law professor Susan Low Bloch said she doubts that the court would use its review of the Pennsylvania law to reverse Roe vs. Wade because "the case doesn't require it." "There are cases from Guam. ing legal questions and said it will focus on specific provisions of the state law. The justices could go further, if they choose, when they rule. At issue are provisions in the Pennsylvania law that, among other things, require: Doctors to tell women seeking abortions about fetal development and alternatives to abortion. Women to put off an abortion for 24 hours after receiving such . information. Doctors to keep detailed information, subject to public disclosure, on all abortions performed. Bush encouraged the rally participants to "redouble our efforts both in public and private sectors to encourage alternatives such as adoption. ' ' Stepping into an election-yea- r issue that could heat up with an expected Supreme Court ruling this summer, Bush said he finds the number of abortions that occurr "simply unconscionable." "I want to reaffirm my dedication to the simple recognition that all life is a precious gift, that each human being has intrinsic dignity and worth," Bush said. He spoke from the White House via loudspeaker to the rally on the Capitol mall "We are making progress toward this recognition and I will continue to oppose and fight attempts by Congress to expand federal funding for abortions," . he said.
