Proper people did not talk about such matters In a more prudish age 50 years ago, much less take them to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court earlier this year threw out state laws banning virtually all abortions. The justices held that a woman has a constitutionally protected private right to do what she wants with her body. It rejected the Catholic church's argument that the taking of any unborn child's life is immoral. It also abthe argument that wide-opeortions will promote sexual promiscuity and venereal disease n Powers on Sriut Last week the court finished handing down a series of decisions that give federal and state governments substantial new powers to crack down on smut.

Under Burgers new rules, the doctor did no such thing. Under the new rules, local rather than national standards of decency are to be applied. Local juries thus will decide what can be sold and seen. not be free merely because they have no of seizure pictures. Films can be seized whether sex ads are actual or simulated. Films, books and magazines can be seized in criminal cases without a pnur hearing before a judge. Prosecutors at trials need not present experts to testily that the materials "re in fact obscene. .. Reverses 1969 Ruling Finally, the Burger rulings gutted a 1969 Supreme Court decision which held that anyone can see or read any thing m the privacy of his or her own home. Burger held that cops can stop the smut before it gets home Cops have a lefimate. constitutional role m regulating smut. They can dose adult theaters that admit teenagers or that pander to adults who want none of it. They can move against organized crime's inv asion of the smut industry . Burger ignored all such clearly definable and limited police roles. But when smut censorship goes beyond such roles and attempts to remove offensive books, magazines and fdms from stores and theaters, somebody has to define vv hat is obscene and what is not , The Supreme Court never has succeeded in writing an understandable definition and Burger did not try. I do not want my son or daughter to read or see any smut. But far less do I want a cop or FBI agent deciding what we will rear and see.
