Pope Paul VI condemns artificial measures for birth control in his encyclical Humanae Vitae. Laypersons and even some priests attack the condemnation.
Britain legalizes abortion April 27 as the Abortion Act that received Royal Assent late last year overturns an 1861 law making abortion a crime under all circumstances. The new law makes any abortion legal if two registered physicians find that "continuance of pregnancy would involve risks to the life or injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman or the future well-being of herself or of the child or her children." Opponents of the new law predict that 400,000 abortions will be performed each year (but see 1969).
A British immigration act excludes thousands of Asians in Kenya from residency in Britain even though they have been offered and have accepted British nationality.
