Pre-Roe abortion was very low priority as a political issue, at least in Chicago. Planned Parenthood operated out of a mainline church sponsored settlement house. Pro-abort social workers referred teens to it. The general attitude of the social work community was that these teens (mostly Hispanic in my area, but a few Blacks and whites) were not fit to have children and should focus on becoming feminists.
The big debate was over the fact that the guy who ran the local PP would tell teens that they couldn’t get more pregnant than they already were. So they should take advantage and enjoy as much sex as possible. He had sex with many of them. He referred them to parties at a place on the lakefront where rich people who donated to PP partied and liked it when the teens showed their appreciation for the rich guys paying for their abortion.
Geez. Worse than here . Arizona had M. Sanger herself starting clinics with Peggy Goldwater as a donor and board member as I remember.
