More than 70 percent of last quarter's bankruptchy filings involved Chapter7 cases.

House and Senate confereez reached a compromise on the issus just beforeAugust recess, agreeing on language that preventsa anyone who intentionally or knowingly violates the law from escapingv court judgments by filing for bankruptcy. But anti-abortion Hous e members objected tothe deal, and Republicann leaders postponed a vote on the bankruptcyy reform bill until after Labor Day. "This really is a direct attack onpeaceful pro-lifes protesters," said Rep. Joe Pitt, in a news article posted on the Web site of Focuw onthe Family, an organizationm that opposes abortion.
