Assemblyman Tom Ammiano, D-San Francisco, said detentions in jails SACRAMENTO (AP) — Lawmakers on Friday sent see my birth certificate COMMERCE, Mich. (AP) — Republican Mitt Romney raised the discredited rumor that President Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States, jokingly declaring ''no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate'' as he cam- paigned Friday near his own Michigan birthplace. Romney later insisted the remark was just a joke and not meant to question Obama's citizenship. But the comment risked creating an unwanted distraction for Romney in his last few days of campaigning before the Republican National Convention begins Monday. It came a day after Romney caused another stir by declaring that big business was ''doing fine'' in the current struggling economy in part because companies get advantages from offshore tax havens.

WORLD BRIEFING ''legitimate rape'' comment was the latest signal that the Republican path to the majority in the Senate may have just gotten tougher. Democratic prospects have improved in states where Republicans had long been favored, like North Dakota and Arizona. And Republicans also now face the possi- bility of losing a seat in Maine. The GOP argues that it still has a strong path to power, given improved prospects in states like Wiscon- sin, Nevada and Connecticut. On Capitol Hill, Republicans are expected to keep control of the House and need to gain four seats claim the Senate majority— or three if Mitt Romney is elect- ed, making Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan the tie-breaking vote. over the future of major policies, such as President Barack Obama's health care law and the tax code, as well as the makeup of the Supreme Court.

Dr. John C.

Todd Akin's comments this week on rape and preg- perpetuate ideas about rape COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The discredited notion that All impacted property nancy helped upend a Senate race and roiled the Republi- can Party in a tough election year. But they reflect ideas that the 87-year-old Willke began peddling years ago. ''There's no greater emotional trauma that can be expe- rienced by a woman than an assault rape,'' Willke wrote in 1999 in the journal Christian Life Resources. ''This can rad- ically upset her possibility of ovulation, fertilization, implantation and even nurturing of a pregnancy.'' To anti-abortion activists, Willke is a revered figure. To abortion-rights activists, the onetime sex education lecturer perpetuates myths, eschews facts and ignores science. And to fellow physicians, his ideas are pure fiction. the policy wastes resources and drives a wedge between immigrants and law enforcement agencies. ''Victims of crime, including domestic violence, are fearful of risking separation from their families and depor- tation,'' he said. Several GOP lawmakers spoke against the bill Friday, saying it would take away an important tool for ridding Cal- ifornia of law-breakers. ''This has become the be-kind-to-criminals Legislature,'' said Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber. AB1081 passed the Assembly on a party line, 44-23 vote after a lengthy debate. Romney made his birth certificate remark at a large out- door rally in Michigan, where he grew up and where his father, George Romney, served as governor. He was joined onstage by his wife, Ann, and running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan. Romney told supporters that he and Ann had been born at nearby hospitals. ''No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised,'' Romney said. US doping agency erases As the debate became more heated, Ammiano said some of the bill's Republican opponents had ''been in the sun too long building that silly fence,'' drawing a reprimand from Democratic house leadership. The Trust Act would prevent local law enforcement offi- cers from detaining arrestees for possible deportation unless the suspect had been charged with a serious or violent felony. The bill has been dubbed ''anti-Arizona'' legislation, a reference to that state's immigrant identification law. Sup- porters argue that the Secure Communities program targets otherwise law-abiding immigrants who commit minor traf- fic infractions, sell food without a permit or are arrested on misdemeanors charges but never convicted. two-fingered ''V'' for victory signs he flashed while pedal- ing to the finish line.

The two U.S. Embassy employees were hospital- ized, one with a wound to the leg and the other hit in the stomach and hand, according to a government offi- cial who spoke on condition of anonymity. The U.S. Embassy said it could not release details of the shoot- ing or the names of the victims. The Navy said at least four vehicles opened fire on the Americans' sport utility vehicle on a road south of Mexico City, but did not make clear if any of the four carried federal police officers.
