If anyone cared to do a little research they would discover very few woman were arrested for getting an abortion before roe v wade. If anyone was arrested it would be the provider, not the woman.
Abortions was like prostitution, illegal but still available and the cops and DA were not aggressive in enforcing the laws against it.
The common perception was that before R-v-W there were women dying all over the place from ‘illegal abortions’
The fact is there were only 34 deaths (i think that’s the number I heard) and those were from inept abortionists, not because of ‘the laws’.
