Representative Bella S. Abzug, speaking at a news conference called by the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, said yesterday that she would work to get through Congress a bill that would go further than the Supreme Court had in its recent decision upholding abortions.

The Supreme Court on Monday overruled all state laws prohibiting or restricting abortions in the first three months but gave the states some rights to regulate abortion in the second and third trimester of pregnancy.

Mrs. Abzug, speaking at the Overseas Press Club, said that her bill, the Abortion Rights Act (H. R. 254), would “eliminate any state laws of any nature concerning the regulation of abortion.”

Lee Gidding, executive director of the association, said the organization would recommend to its affiliates across the country that they find legislative sponsors to submit bills repealing abortion laws.
