hmmm, there seems to be a convenient omission in your post of dates and detail concerning that legality, not to mention if that legality was achieved by people voting for it or just fiat, [I do not recall a vote on the matter]...I'm from NY [suburb of NYC] and most every car ya saw back in the late 60's and early seventies had bumper stickers that claimed "abortion is murder".
Then the original ROE V WADE should have been decided by vote, not the courts, since it was not, the cause became the remedy
