Abortion Debate in California Turns on Life of Mother and Fetus
The California abortion debate centers on when life begins and whether a board of physicians may authorize a termination to save the mother. Roman Catholic leaders oppose the measure, arguing against abortion while proponents cite cases of fetal deformities such as German measles as reasons for exceptions. Remarks from Dr. Edmund Overstreet and others reference 1964–65 measles outbreaks and past physician resistance to laws restricting abortion. A related tax bill proposal was introduced in Washington.
