Bolton, 410 U.S. 179, 191-192 (1973). While Roe declares that
the state may proscribe late term abortions in the interest
of protecting fetal life after viability, it adds the caveat
"except when it is necessary to preserve the life or
health of the mother," which Doe explains is to include
not only physical health but mental health, to be understood
to include factors such as age, familial status, emotional
state, etc.

of abortion is hard to specify; while Schaff measured decrease
in ßhCG levels as an indicator of abortion, Hausknecht
(cited in note 33) looked for the "expulsion of the products
of conception" or the "passage of tissue" (P.
538). Using this criteria, Hausknecht still apparently had
some who took at least 18 days to abort (methotrexate on day
1, misoprostol day 7, repeat misoprostol, day 14, abortion
4 days later, pp. 538-539). Those still pregnant at that point
underwent a surgical abortion.

appearing on p. 7 of Newsday (New York), the medical director
of Planned Parenthood of New York, Dr. Hakim Elahi indicated
the side effects were so unpredictable he would not use it
as an abortion drug in any dose. In a letter to the editors
of the New York Times (April 8, 1996, at p. A14), abortionist
Don Sloan warned that methotrexate can produce severe anemias,
ulcers, and bone marrow depressions that can be fatal,even
at the doses used for abortion and said "many of us in
the 'abortion trade,' as I am, are recoiling at the stark
irresponsibility of those who are parading this medication
in such cavalier fashion."
