U.S. women rely on so-called "feminine hygiene" products such as douche solutions, foaming tablets, vaginal jellies, and suppositories to avoid pregnancy; they are cheap, not subject to any regulation, easily available without a doctor's prescription, and comprise 85 percent of contraceptive sales.
The case of R. v. Bourne arouses controversy over abortion in Britain. London gynecologist Aleck (William) Bourne, 42, has aborted a 14-year-old girl who was allegedly raped April 27 by four guardsmen at Wellington Barricks; he informed the police before terminating the girl's pregnancy and was charged with violating an 1837 criminal statute that was reenacted in 1861, his defenders argue that there are times when deliberate abortion should be lawful, the judge rules that under certain circumstances the surgeon has not only the right but the duty to terminate a pregnancy, and Bourne is acquitted (see 1967).
