Probl4ni- Of Fertility'
Aboition. Controlled
NEW YORK. --Abortion is the
world's most widely used meth-
-od of controlling fertility, This
was reported kere to national
leaders in family planning by
Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, presi-
dent of Planned Parenthood -
World Population.
"Scientists have given the
world simple, .effective methods

"but at leastnialf-abillion of the
world's fertile women do not
Yet have access to these meth-
ods. Abortion is the alternative
and it is widely used."
The most recent US. estimate
is that there is one abortion, us-
ually illegal, for EAgVry four live
births—a total in excess of one
million a year. Induced abor-
tion is the second leading cause
of maternal death in the U.S.
Legal And Illegal
Dr. Guttrnacher's statement
to the annual meeting of the
U.S. Planned Parenthood affili-

ed to the recent United Nations
Population Conference in 'Bel -
Legal abortion has been the
inajor•method employed by the
Japanese to control population
growth and, accordingrto the re-

most of the countries .of Oastern
Europe. But in parts of the
world where abortion .is not

Soviet Union
In a recent study of popula-
ion, where abortion jas legaliz-
ed in 1955, Dr. David M. Heer

tir Public. Health, contrasts the
Russian rate of one abortion
for each live birth, with that
"The important point, for the
Soviet• Union 'is that the abor-
tion rate implies that the use of
contraceptives ... is probably
very much less frequent and/or
effective than in the tTnited
States." Heer reports. "The fer-
tility of married cOuples in the
U.S. a'nd in the Soviet Union
' ' is approximately at the same
level. Yet the highest estimate
of the number of abortions in
tbe U.S: is of an -abortion rate

proportion of pregnancies pre-

countries, according to reporti

Dr. Here's study, published in
the new edition of Demography;
notes that becalise its abortion
rate is "too high," th,e present
"policy of the Soviet Union is to
further the practiee of contra-
ception." Students from corn:,
munist bloc countries were in

University of Chicago's "Birth

Red China
Sir Colville Deverell, secre-
tary-general of the International
,Planned Parenthood Federation,
reported a the New York meet-
ing that his regional represent-
atives have been invited for con-
sultative visits by the medica
society of communist China.
They report that the CIA.nese
are dispensing a wide variety of
contraceptives and giving "ad-
vice to- women on family plan-
ning after abortion." Sir Col-
ville reported that the intrauter-
ine devices. are in wide use and
that "oral contraceptives are a
subject of ktudY and great inter-
est, buCare not yet in general
use" in mainland China.
Complications
In their recent book, Hungry
Nations, Paul and William. Pad-
dock cite an example of the
,complications of the abortion
method ineontrolling family size
and national population:
"The universal 'problem of
