close your eyes, stephanie... i'm going to post some more uncomfortable facts of life.
Women around the world have used abortion to control their reproduction at every point in history, and in every known society – regardless of its legality.
In the United States, abortion was practiced until about 1880, by which time most states had banned it except to save the life of the woman. Anti-abortion legislation was part of a backlash against the growing movements for suffrage and birth control — an effort to control women and confine them to a traditional childbearing role.

PP broke the fucking LAW.

I stopped listening to her making excuses way back about 20 pages
By the 1960s, the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion — a network of concerned pastors and rabbis, and feminist groups — had set up referral services to help women find safer illegal abortions.
Between 1967 and 1973, 14 states reformed and four states repealed restrictive abortion laws.
On Jan. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all existing criminal abortion laws in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. The court found that a woman’s decision to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester was protected under the “right of privacy…founded in the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty.”
Guess you believe Dred Scott was correct also!
