League of Women Voters affirms abortion choice
| Washington
The League of Women Voters marked the approaching 10th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion by ending its neutral position on the controversial subject.
The league adopted a position ''affirming the constitutional right of the privacy of the individual to make reproductive choices.'' The league's national president, Dorothy Ridings, said 92 percent of members responding to a survey were in favor of the new position, ''an unprecedented level of positive response."
