Only remote survival chance cited in Edelin abortion case
Boston experts testified that a fetus as premature as the Edelin victim at 24 weeks has effectively zero chance of survival, with weights around 700 grams. They supported the defense that the fetus was not a viable human life and that Edelin’s hysterotomy was medically appropriate given prior miscarraige attempts.

Washington based UPI report notes Agriculture Department economist Don Paarlberg sees possible downward revision to the December forecast that retail food prices would rise 3 to 4 percent in each of the first two quarters of 1975, with a small relief for consumers. He cites lower farm prices offset by higher energy costs and echoes Secretary Earl Butz on near-term leveling and potential slower inflation if crops are favorable.
