Some allowed it, some did not.

Four states allowed abortion on demand pre-Roe: NY, WA, HI and AK. In 30 states it was illegal under any circumstances. The remaining states (many of them in the south, interestingly) allowed it under certain circumstances: rape, incest, health of the mother, etc.

Thanks.

My intent was not to enumerate which states did and which did not allow abortions, but to simply disprove the statement “abortion wasn’t an option in the United States until it was legalized in 1973”.
