That sounds like a description of how it was done in "nice neighborhoods." I do know that the image of back-alley abortion is permanently burned into every liberal's head.
I disagree with and detest the argument that "liberals use emotion and conservatives use logic", but I do recognize this pattern of the implacable image.
There is a movie from the 1940s titled "Street Corner" that was an exploitation film which even showed graphic childbirth. It has the woman "undergo" an abortion and later suffers internal problems (the abortionist is even sentenced for her crime).
That recent movie, The Cider House Rules, was set in the 1930s if I understand. Also as I understand it, the movie concerns an illegal abortionist. Did he perform his deed in an alley alongside Jack the Ripper? Or did he do it inside some office or home?
Ask liberals how many of them have seen the old tracks the "underground railroad" ran on that got runaway slaves out of the South.
