Examination of New York's liberal abortion laws which went into effect on July 1, 1970. This program asks whether women are better off now under the new laws, whether poor people can now get abortions in public facilities, and what health institutions are doing to prepare for the results of the new law. Includes interviews with Alfred Moran, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood; John Settle, president of Abortion Counseling Information and Referral Services; Sheila Doran, Women's Abortion Project; Merle Goldberg, Women's Abortion Project; and Frances Beal, Black Women's Liberation activist.
