I’ll take your word on that. I was in High School during Roe vs. Wade. So, to say I was ignorant and naive’ is an understatment.

I honestly have no idea how many ‘home abortions’ were attempted, how many were successful and never were reported, how many were unsuccessful and required hospitalization, how many were unsucceful and resulted in the death of the mother - or how many were unsuccessful and resulted in a normal birth.

Logically, we would never know how many were successfully done at a Black Market clinic.

The other claim tossed about is that before Roe v many women died in childbirth. The truth is that women quit dying in childbirth with the advent of effective antibiotics!

I'd also like to note that "back alley" abortions didn't disappear ~ whatever they were ~ they were LEGALIZED by the USSC.

The court applied no restrictions whatsoever to the practice of abortion.

It is entirely possible that the whole practice could be quickly eliminated by removing it entirely from the field of medicine ~ and just let anybody do anything they want at any time.

Now that'd give you a death rate to suppress any practice!

I call that my "privatization option" ~ which, so far, has not been embraced by the pro abortion crowd.
