...state abortion seekers are not limited to New York City. Detroit Manufacturer Martin Mitchell, for instance, has established a clinic near Niagara Falls, N.Y., and has arranged a thrice-weekly charter flight to bring women there from cities in the Middle West. Others arrive by car. His venture has been booming, to the extent of 175 cases a week. Mitchell, who advertises his clinic on billboards, has even hired a plane to tow a huge airborne sign over Miami Beach. Once he planned airborne abortions, to be performed in a circling jetliner, but he could not find doctors willing...
...with my children." Her eldest daughter, Jane, 25, an attractive college graduate married to a systems engineer, has had two abortions. Jane had an illegal out-of-state operation 16 months ago because she wanted to finish her studies, and had a legal abortion at a New York clinic last spring because she wanted to continue working.

Wisconsin's law is under a cloud; no final ruling has yet been issued on the constitutional question, but a U.S. district court has forbidden the prosecution of a Madison gynecologist for operating an abortion clinic. California law is also the subject of a court test as pro-and anti-abortion forces battle over an appellate court decision overturning part of the state's liberalized...
...conventional contraceptives has shown, however, many couples do not seem willing or able to use them consistently or properly. Easily available abortion may even carry with it the risk of promoting still more sexual irresponsibility, the attitude that a lost gamble in bed will be easily remedied on a clinic table. Yet if freedom to get an abortion virtually on demand is to become as common in this country as it is in Japan and parts of Europe, then a correlative sense of responsibility is necessary. Research and public education concerning contraception must be promoted even more vigorously than they...
