PIP: A team visit was made to Antigua, Barbados, St. Vincent, and Trinidad-Tobago to examine current abortion statutes and to determine liberalization prospects. In addition the team analyzed the abortion statutes in 15 English-speaking territories. The team found the laws forbid abortion except to save the life of the mother, although there has been some liberalizing to include granting abortions when the physicial or mental health of the mother is endangered and additional liberalization is anticipated. Other findings were that illegal abortion is widespread and public opinion generally favors abortion law reform. The visit came in the wake of a recommendation by the 4th Commonwealth Medical Conference, held in 1974, that the Commonwealth Secretariat collect information on laws concerning the medical termination of pregnancy.^ieng
