The Reagan-era law plays a key role in determining whether new projects go forward in California. It will also help decide the fate of two major Democratic priorities: the high-speed rail project and Delta water tunnel proposal. Environmental groups have resisted efforts to change Califor- nia's environmental regulations, which is among the strictest in the nation. They characterized the late- hour proposal as an attempt to avoid public scrutiny. A majority of the Assembly Democrats signed a pledge to oppose any related legisla- tion that surfaced this year. Republicans, by contrast, have been advocating for reform for years.

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture suspended operations at Central Valley Meat Co. of Hanford after an undercov- er video shot by the animal welfare group Compassion Over Killing showed cows that appeared to be sick or lame being beaten, kicked, shot and shocked in an attempt to get them to walk to slaughter. Federal officials say nothing they have seen so far in the video shows meat from cows that may have been sick made it into the food supply, but interviews with employees were ongoing. It's against the law to slaughter a non-ambulato- ry animal for food out of concern that it could be infected with bovine spongiform encephalopa- thy, also known as mad cow disease. In May, a cow that died at a nearby dairy was found to be suffering from the disease. The USDA said earlier this month it was an isolated case and didn't pose a threat to the food supply.

Calif. lawmakers exchange barbs over abortion bill SACRAMENTO (AP) — The national furor over a Missouri congressman's comments about rape and abortion spilled into the California Legislature on Thursday, stoking a partisan — and personal — exchange. The clash arose during an Assembly debate on a bill to further study whether nurse practitioners can safely perform a common method of abortion. Democrats said they took offense over Missouri Last year, the USDA bought 21 million pounds of beef for more than $50 million from the company owned by Lawrence and Brian Coelho.

AB1447 would prohibit dealers from forcing buyers to pay installments in person and require them to pro- vide buyers with warranties covering the vehicle for at least 30 days or 1,000 miles. The bill also would prohibit dealers from installing tracking devices without the buyer's consent.

Todd Akin's statement this week that women have enough control over their bodies to prevent preg- nancy during a rape. Republican lawmakers in the state Assembly called abortion an inhumane way to end life. ''We are charged with protecting the three inalien- able rights that our founders thought to record in the declaration, the rights that come from the creator. And the very first one is the most important — life,'' said Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks. ''And yet, members of this house think the greatest threat to Cali- fornia is global warming.'' GOP Assemblyman Brian Jones of Santee pleaded with Democrats — the majority party — not to expand ''the ability for Americans to kill other Americans.'' Several female Democratic lawmakers spoke in sup- port of the bill. They said there have been growing protests against clinics and doctors, leading to a shrink- ing availability of abortion services. They emphasized that it's a woman's legal right to have an abortion. Others suggested their Republican colleagues should be outraged by Akin's comments when he was asked in an interview on a St. Louis television station whether his general opposition to abortion extended to women who got pregnant from being raped. ''From what I understand from doctors, that's really The video appears to rare,'' said Akin, who is the Republican candidate chal- lenging Missouri's incumbent Democratic senator. ''If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.'' Assemblywoman Norma Torres, D-Pomona, responded to the statements by her Republican col- leagues by invoking Akin's comments. ''Women continue to be oppressed by the ignorance that our bodies can simply get rid of something a male has inserted inside of us that we did not want,'' she said. When her comment drew groans from some of her colleagues, she said, ''Really, you're shocked? I am shocked that we're having this discussion on the floor.'' A fellow Democratic lawmaker, Assemblyman Charles Calderon of Whittier, suggested Torres focus her remarks on the bill. She shot back saying, ''I refuse as a woman to be shut down by you or any other man in this Assembly.'' used vehicles and offer their own financing. Sen.
