...photograph of a dead woman. "She was 24 years old, married, and had a child of two. She had an abortion, done by her concierge. Voila: dead of septicemia [blood poisoning] because she could not afford $500 for a safe abortion in England. That is why I signed the manifesto, because of this woman and others like...

...Boggs-after a defeat at the polls and a four-year hitch in the Navy-returned in 1946, and has been there since. Representing an urban and cosmopolitan section of New Orleans, he was not the stereotypical Southern Congressman.
