Reagan wants to avoid loopholes in California's Therapeutic Abortion Act

KPIX-TV news footage from June 14, 1967 featuring brief scenes from a press conference in Sacramento by California's Governor Ronald Reagan, who states that he wants to avoid the inclusion of potential "loopholes" in the Therapeutic Abortion Act, passed by the State Senate yesterday. He says: "I would like to see, make sure that we are not ... passing a hypocritical bill." Reagan signed the Therapeutic Abortion Act into law later that day, making California only the 3rd state to adopt such legislation. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
