England's law permits operations only when necessary to save the life of the mother, and yacht-loving Dr. Bourne, who two years ago prepared a weighty report on abortions for the British Medical Association, has long wished to broaden the law so as to allow reputable surgeons to use their own discretion in terminating pregnancies in special cases.
