How such "orphans of living" fare in today's world is the first concern of several of these studies and is further explored in a supplementary survey of 120 children who were born after their mothers refused therapeutic abortions. Comparing the lives of these children through age 21 with those of an appropriate control group, the survey is one of four studies that have been added to the presentation, which brings together papers delivered at the California Conference on Abortion (San Francisco, May 9-11, 1969)...
