Interesting that in 1900 abortion was just still legal everywhere in America.
I don’t know when or why that started changing. I know part of the women’s movement was agitating for abortion rights in the 1960s and climaxed in 1973 with Roe.
But what is the mindset involved that it is considered to be such an important civil right , for a woman to terminate a pregnancy without any restrictions?

Well, the birth control changed sex from something that ran a high risk of producing kids to just a recreational act. But the pill wasn’t 100% so they needed abortion to guarantee sex could be separated from procreation.
