Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated August 3, 1962 partially reads, "Sweden has mixed reactions over the possibility of its being the scene of a Phoenix housewife's abortion, a Swedish newspaper woman says. On one hand, she said, the people in Sweden would show Sherri Finkbine, who fears she may give birth to a deformed child, every courtesy and have sympathy for her problem. But, there is the fear that all the publicity over the case might start a flood of women from all parts of the world flocking to Sweden to have abortions. The analysis was given by Ingrid Clairmont, reporter for the Espressen, a newspaper with about 500,000 circulation in Sweden."
