Doctors differ on abortion law in California
California physicians face investigations for abortions they deem necessary but some state authorities say illegal. Dr. James McNulty, member of the State Board of Medical Examiners, cited widespread cases and argued the law allows abortion only to save the mother's life, calling the practice hypocrisy and urging legal change rather than physician circumvention.

Man Kills Self In West Virginia After Fatal Act
Andrew J. Ford killed himself with a shotgun shell and hammer in a grim suicide at his home in Ranson West Virginia. A separate report notes growing dispute among California physicians over abortion proposals and the CMA panel discussion on abortion laws.
