Come think of it AD I don't think our American founding fathers knew what abortion was I know Jefferson did. He noted that native americans that were having a hard time surviving practiced it.

Come think of it AD I don't think our American founding fathers knew what abortion was Not to put too fine a point on it, but they knew very well what it was. What they wouldn't have imagined would have been that someday a faction of people would convince the court that it was anything but an abomination. The Hippocratic Oath forbids doctors from performing abortion, but I don't even think they swear that oath any more.

I'm sure they knew what abortion was. It's just that back then, it wasn't something you would talk about openly let alone something that a "lady" would demand the right for.

I don't think our American founding fathers knew what abortion was Abortion has been around a LONG time. I'm sure they knew what it was, but they didn't institute a constititional right to it, a 'right' that didn't exist until invented nearly 200 years later.
