Why do you ask?
And what "trend" is that?
Abortions anywhere, including in New York and your fancied "blue states" otherwise were as illegal pre-1973 as they were in "red states."
Abortions were legal in some states, including New York prior to 1973- it was a state issue pre-Roe, and will be again when/if Roe is overturned.
I meant the abortion trend, not the immigration trend. New York was THE place to go, pre-Roe.
"Abortions anywhere, including in New York and your fancied "blue states" otherwise were as illegal pre-1973 as they were in "red states.""
That's actually not true. The first legalized abortion law was signed in California by Ronald Reagan in 1967. New York followed in 1970, and two others I would have to look up had also legalized it before 1973. The trend in states was toward legalization when the Supreme Court short-circuited the process. Abortion proponents would have been better off waiting for state legislatures to do their job.
