Ask any old Ob/Gyn and they will confirm that abortion was effectively legal pre-Roe v. Wade.

Women routinely had Menstrual Extractions or a D & C because of “residue” from an “incomplete period,” “idiopatahic abdominal pain” or other such “problems”.

Everyone know. Don’t ask. Don’t tell.

I’m definitely opposed to abortion and would always try to save the unborn, but there are many areas where the issue isn’t so black and white. For example, what if the mother’s life is threatened, rape or incest, or the morning after pill? Some FReepers would apparently like to make it a federal crime to terminate a fertilized egg, aka new life, for any reason at any time. Apparently they see no difference between a woman terminating a 2nd or 3rd trimester pregnancy because it’s inconvenient and a woman with serious health issues who is agonizing over having to terminate a problem pregnancy.
