WOMEN SENATORS NOTE CONCERN ABOUT JUDGES

The five Democratic women in the Senate have written President Clinton to express a "great deal of concern" about published reports that he may appoint anti-abortion judges to the federal bench.

Lower courts as well as the Supreme Court will be dealing with abortion issues, and now "anti-choice judges dominate the courts," they said.

"Today, with violent attacks at abortion clinics becoming all too common, it is important that the federal courts reflect a balance that has long been missing during the past two administrations," said the letter, signed by Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer of California, Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Carol Moseley-Braun of Illinois and Patty Murray of Washington state. - The Washington Post
