California Court Rules Abortions Legal If By Licensed Physician
A state appeals court ruled that all abortions in California are legal when performed by a licensed physician in a licensed hospital. The 2 1 decision upholds that the 1967 liberalized act allows abortions within 20 weeks, noting a constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy subject to health safeguards. The ruling cites health department figures showing 62 000 legal abortions last year, versus 5 030 in 1968 and 15 339 in 1969.
