Antiques and asked her to distribute them She put them out in stores service stations and restaurants where she said signatures were mounting fast The petition says the people of Ashe Alleghany and Grayson counties were not properly represented when the decision was made to put the river in the scenic system' decision should be reviewed and made on grounds other than Murray said Distributors of

through childbirth ran a risk of death nine times greater than those who had abortions performed by licensed physicians in the first three months of pregnancy says a federal study of the years 19721974 Dr Willard Cates Jr and three associates at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta conducted the study as part of the federal surveillance of abortion related deaths abortion in the United States in 1972 through 1974 was a relatively safe surgical with a death rate below that for the removal of tonsils or appendix concludes the study The report appears in issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association compared with mortality from pregnancy and childbirth legal abortion in the first trimester was nearly nine times safer than carrying the pregnancy to the study said The study compares statistics for abortion related deaths between 1972 and 1974 with similar figures for full term pregnancies It says there were 39 maternal deaths per 100000 legally performed abortions but the rate dropped to 17 when abortions were performed in the first three months of pregnancy The US Supreme Court in 1973 declared that states could not in terfere with abortions during the first three months of pregnancy a ruling that upset abortion laws of many states The study cited figures of the National Center for Health Statistics which showed the rate of maternal deaths related to pregnancy during the same period was 148 per 100000 livebirths Based on the statistical analysis the study also said: most significant factor related to deaths from abortion is the number of weeks the pregnancy has progressed risk of dying from abortion is four times greater for women over 40 than for teen agers who had the lowest rate The abortion risk was higher for black mothers but the study did not speculate on the reason who underwent abor tions in their own states had a sngnuy mgner mortality rate tnan women who underwent the operation in another state The study said out of state abortions were performed on women of higher economic status The analysis covered a three ear period because the number of US abortion related deaths in a single year was too small to be meaningful Deaths related to legal abortions: were 24 in 1972 26 in 1973 and 26 ini 1974 the study says Abortions were defined as legal if they were performed by licensed physicians under Supreme Court guidelines even if its legality was questioned in the state where it took place Hearings Scheduled A public hearing on the proposed replacement of the bridge over Southern Railway on Airport Road will
