| Popis: | In January 1973 the Supreme Court made its compromise decisions. It gave the patient and her physician the right to make the decision for abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the midtrimester neither the state nor the patient or her physician have absolute authority but regulations for the safety of pregnancy can be set and enforced. During the last trimester the baby is considered viable and the state then has the authority to prohibit abortion except under emergency situations. In 1973 Congress passed the Health Programs Extension Act which gave hospitals the right to refuse on religious grounds to allow either abortions or sterilizations. It did not inhibit the right of those individuals with different beliefs to seek sterilization or abortion elsewhere. |
