I don’t know how old you are and whether you were an adult before Roe V. Wade.
I was. Before Rose v. Wade pregnant women in the US who wanted to terminate an abortion had 2 choices: an illegal procedure, often fraught with danger or go out of the country. When I was in high school if you heard a girl was going to San Juan PR for a weekend that was code for flying there for a legal abortion. Poor women suffered the illegal and dangerous procedures and if something went wrong and they ended up min the emergency room at the local hospital they were subject to arrest, prosecution and prison.
I, parent of adopted children am not in favor of abortion at will. That said there are times when it is medically necessary to save the life of the woman. I don’t want a law without exceptions.
