McGovern gains momentum as Muskie exits race
With Edmund Muskie withdrawing from active campaigning, George Mc Govern gains endorsements from Fred Harris Cliff Larson and potential support from Abraham Ribicoff as the Democratic race narrows toward a two man contest with Hubert Humphrey. Muskie may still influence delegates, while Wallace enters some states as a three way dynamic looms toward Miami Beach.

Houston based Problem Pregnancy Information director Bob Mosby says hospitals in Los Angeles offer lower abortion costs for Texas clients. Legal abortions cost about 550 in Texas versus 365 including travel to California. Agency serves 6,000 yearly, with 90 to 100 Houston clients weekly and involvement from Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, and Lubbock. Most clients are unmarried middle class women ages 13 to 25 seeking practical reasons, with many using California clinics for the lower price. The article notes Texas allows abortion only to save the mother’s life, and cites potential cost declines if Texas laws change.
