The summer program entitled "Family Planning and Human Sexuality" is sponsored by the Emory University Family Planning Program. Students from medical schools and colleges all over the country have participated in this summer program. Students complete individual projects under the aid and supervision of the faculty and staff of the Family Planning Program. Medical students also gain clinical experience in the delivery of family planning services. For application or further information write: Sheryl Richardson Emory University Family Planning Program 69 Butler Street, S.E. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 If you should want a copy of Contraceptive Technology 1973-74, you can obtain it by writing to: Emory University Family Planning Program 69 Butler Street, S.E. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 They are available at the price of $.75 per single copy or can be bought at $.50 per copy for orders of 50 or more. Other publications available from our Family Planning Program include (prices available upon request): Abortion and Sterilization Manual This manual describes the delivery of abortion and sterilization services primarily within the framework of a large metropolitan hospital. It considers the total processes which patients electing these operations undergo, including the importance of proper counseling and support, as well as the medical and surgical aspects of the procedures. Some attention is also given to more general issues surrounding abortion and sterilization, such as economic problems, contraception and availability. It is written primarily for medical students, but is not overly technical. Nurses in Family Planning-A Manual for Expanding Roles in Counseling and Clinical Practice is directed to nursing faculty and students to introduce family planning into the baccalaureate curriculum. The manual discusses the nurse's role as case finder, counselor and teacher of family planning and related services in providing comprehensive health care. It summarizes and organizes existing information on contraceptive and non-contraceptive services such as abortion, sterilization, infertility counseling, venereal disease screening and treatment, and genetic counseling. Case Histories is unique in that it deals with family planning problems by medical specialty. It is hoped that by dealing with family planning in this manner every physician's office can become concerned with the contraceptive needs of the patient. The problem oriented approach is utilized in presenting the case histories. The manual also includes a series of reference tables dealing with the contraindications and effectiveness of the different methods as well as a table of estrogenic and progestational potencies of the oral contraceptives available. Senator JAMES O. EASTLAND, ST. LOUIS PARK MEDICAL CENTER, March 6, 1974. DEAR SENATOR EASTLAND: A milestone in social progress the supreme court ruling that a woman may decide with her doctor whether to terminate her pregnancy-is over one year old. Studies in Sweden, Yugoslavia, Hungary and New York have demonstrated the humanity and social good in providing women with the freedom to choose whether they shall bear children. These studies indicate that: Children born of women who were refused an abortion are more likely to be delinquent, in need of psychiatric care, to become criminals and to require welfare aid. Abortion, particularly in the first 11 weeks of pregnancy, is far safer than carrying a pregnancy to term-another compelling reason for giving women freedom in the matter. Voluntary abortion has prevented considerable remorse and depression among women with unwanted pregnancies. Indeed, studies have shown that neurotic women who were allowed to terminate pregnancies are then, on the average, psychiatrically healthier than women who were refused abortions. Lower birth rates, lower rates of illigitimacy, fewer premature births, fewer deaths from illegal "back alley" abortions, fewer maternal deaths and fewer out of wedlock births are other social benefits gained as a result of providing women with more control over their reproduction. Please submit this letter as a written testimony regarding any attempts to amend our constitution with regard to women's rights. Sincerely yours, ROBERT B. BENJAMIN, M.D., Chairman, Medical Advisory Committee, Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. PRESIDENTIAL PLAZA MEDICAL BUILDING, Senator BIRCH BAYH, DEAR SIR: This is to voice my opposition to the constitutional amendments to nullify the Supreme Court decision of January 22, 1973 permitting abortions. I am engaged in the private practice of Internal Medicine in a community of a population of 200,000. It has been my experience through the past ten years that for various reasons an abortion is indicated in the opinion of the pregnant woman. Such abortions have, and will be, obtained despite their legality. Prior to the legalization of abortions in New York State women of means were able to obtain abortions in clinics in Europe and Mexico. Women of the lower socioeconomic group would obtain these abortions through the “black market.” The morbidity and mortality of these later cases is notorious. This method of obtaining abortion also obviates the necessary patient-doctor consultation which often is productive of an alternative solution. The pregnant woman does not consult a physician when she knows that he is legally unable to recommend the desired termination of her pregnancy. On the other hand, if the physician is legally able to recommend abortion and referral to a specialist for the same, the desired consultation with the physician is usually effected. This often will produce a mutually acceptable solution for the patient other than abortion. I do not contend that abortion is an acceptable method of population control, or contraception, but do contend, that it is an acceptable and often desirable means of dealing with certain situations. Its legality aids the concept of total patient care. I would request that this letter be read into the proceedings of your Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments. Thank you. Sincerely, A.
