The cases involve attempts bv Pennsylvania and Illinois to expana, by threat of criminal sanctions, their regulatory powers over doctors who perform abortions. At one point during public argu ment sessions, Justice Thurgood Marshall pointed to procedural problems in the Illinois case and ex claimed, “What is before us is exactly nothing.” In both cases, almost all questions from the justices centered on proce dural matters and not on the under lying — and always divisive — consti tutional issues. The cases have been closely watched by “pro-life” and “pro- choice” forces since the court last spring agreed to review them. The Reagan administration last July urged the justices to use the cases to overturn their landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion —a bold move widely viewed as having no chance of succeeding. Lower courts, relying on the 1973 ruling, said the Pennsylvania and Il linois regulations represented too much interference with women’s constitutional right to end their pre gnancies. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap peals last year struck down five pro visions of Pennsylvania’s 1982 abor tion control law. Those provisions would have re quired: • That doctors obtain the "in formed consent” of women seeking abortions after telling them about “detrimental physical and psycho logical effects wnich are not accu rately foreseeable” and about medi cal assistance benefits available for prenatal care and childbirth. • That doctors file various re ports for the public record about each abortion they perform. • That young girls seeking abor tions first get fne consent of their parents or a judge.. • That doctors performing third- trimester abortions, which are rare, use procedures least risky to a fetus capable of existing outside the womb. Polish premier resigns position to concentrate on Party business Associated Press WARSAW, Poland — Gen. Woj- ciech Jaruzelski, who crushed the Solidarity union with the steel fist of martial law, will resign as premier to day to concentrate on his work as Communist Party chief, party and diplomatic sources said. He will be replaced as premier by Zbigniew Messner, deputy premier ana a member of the party’s ruling Politburo, the sources reported on condition of anonymity. Western diplomats said Jaruzelski, by deciding to step down as head of the government, was sig naling the end of the Polish political crisis that led to the declaration of martial law and suppression of the free union movement in December 1981. They said the move also was de signed to strengthen the party which lost nearly 1 million members after a summer of labor turmoil in 1980 gave birth to Solidarity. The union now is outlawed and most of its lead ers have been driven underground. _ The government change, which the sources said was approved Tues day at a Communist Party Central Committee meeting in Warsaw, was expected to be made public today- Messner, 56, has been responsible for coordinating the economic re form program since Jaruzelski made him deputy premier in November 1983. U.S. House representatives run into snag while criticizing ‘other legislative body’ Associated Press WASHINGTON — There are rules and there are rules, and in the House of Representatives the rule is, thou shalt not criticize the U.S. Sen ate by name. The other body is “the other body,” and no one is permitted to get more specific than that, as Rep. Thomas Neal, D-N.C., learned when he complained in debate that “the Senate” was holding up action on a housing bill. The chair intervened to state that “any statement critical of the other body is not within the rules, and crit ical comment of inaction or inactivity by the other body mentioned here would violate the rule.” Whereupon, Rep. Henrv Gonza lez, D-Texas, inquired wnether it would satisfy the rule if House mem bers “preface whatever critical eval uations we make if we take judicial knowlege that the other body is hon orable and illustrious but misbegot ten in its judgments.” As debate continued, House members continued to point out that the Senate was foot dragging. Rep. Barnev Frank, D-Mass., ap parently deciaed that if you cannot ; call the Senate, “the Senate," you s might as well call it “something else” i “Why are we legislating?” he asked. “Because it takes under the Constitution the action of both this body and ‘something else’ to become law.
