A California appellate court ruled that abortions are legal if performed by a physician in a licensed hospital during the first 20 weeks, upholding some provisions of the 1968 therapeutic abortion act while striking down advance hospital-committee approval as unconstitutional. The decision notes a right to terminate within limits and cites state interests in health and welfare. Justice Molinari dissented on the unqualified rights point.
