Laurence H. Tribe '62, professor of Law, yesterday testified on Capitol Hill against a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion.
Tribe argued against the Human Life Federalism Amendment, which would allow individual states to prohibit abortion before the Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee on the Constitution. Sen. Orrin Hatch (D-Utah), who sponsored the legislation, chairs that sub-committee.
