The abortion foes in Congress introduced legislation Wednesday to tighten standards for doctors administering RU-486, the abortion pill approved by the Food and Drug Administration for U.S. sale late last month. Drug opponents, including Rep. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Sen. Tim Hutchinson of Arkansas, claim Congress now must take on the task of "correcting the FDA's mistake" because the agency "caved in" to pro-choice pressures, according to The Associated Press. Critics of the drug, including state legislatures across the nation and presidential candidate George W. Bush, say the drug will make it too easy for women to get abortions.

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- The 13-year rule of the Yugoslav president appeared to have collapsed. Earlier in the day, hundreds of thousands of people swarmed through the capital to demand that Milosevic accept his apparent electoral defeat by Vojislav Kostunica in the Sept. 24 election.
