Actually, the law had been repealed two years ago. But Dr. Leon Belous had been convicted early in 1967, when it was still in force. To replace the statute, California passed more liberal legislation that permits hospitals to perform abortions on girls under 15, in cases of rape and incest, or when having a baby may seriously harm the-phys-ical or mental health of the mother. The California decision-the first of its kind by a major state court-now casts constitutional doubt on rigid abortion laws in no fewer than 41 other states. Also, by emphasizing that...
...Abortion Act of 1967. The decision did suggest, though, that the new act makes it easier for a doctor to decide when he may legally perform an abortion. Roy Lucas, a lawyer on the board of the Association for the Study of Abortion, believes that the new act is still too vague, but applauds the new ruling.

With several dozen Greenfielders still on vacation and therefore unpolled, only 69 admit to promiscuously violating the no-smoking pledge...
...tail end" of its siege of inflation. "We're making slow and steady progress," Martin insisted. "There are indications that we may be getting to the end of very high interest rates." Maybe so, but last week interest rates on short-term Government notes jumped to still another record high. Example: 6½% on a $356 million issue of New York State tax-free notes. The prices of many industrial materials-among them copper, nickel, steel pipe, chlorine and abrasive powders-also continued to inch upward, promising subsequent increases in the cost of the goods and services that consumers...
