Bankruptcy Bill Dies in House

By JESSE J. HOLLAND

WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation intended to make it harder for people to erase their debts in bankruptcy court was rejected in the House Thursday, scuttled by a dispute over how the law would apply to fines against abortion protesters.

Conservative Republicans turned against the House leadership, President Bush and their business and banking contributors in rejecting the legislation, which they feared would curtail abortion protesting. Many Democrats also opposed the bill on grounds that it would hurt poor working people.
