I think by the 60's, it was legal in NY state, and some women did get back alley abortions or possibly left the country and got them. It was never even talked about where I grew up, but I read about it in the paper which is how I found out what abortions were.

But using back alley abortions as an excuse for legalizing it doesn't wash either. That is a "choice", too, to have one of those. If they're so pro choice, why do they care what a woman does (other than vote for them)?

That is new to me that his mother may have had one, probably conjecture. It's possible. It got me wondering about a lot of things I probably didn't know about that happened in the 20's and 30's even before I was born.

The number of “back-alley abortions” was severely exaggerated and the truth is, that it was more often than not, doctors performing illegal abortions.

The abortion movement originated with the eugenics society, who believe that some individuals shouldn't be allowed to be born at all, blacks, the poor and the stupid.

Abortion is a big hoax that's killing innocent lives, and destroying families.

My feeling is that abortion has probably killed future scientists, lawyers, doctors, and yes presidents. For a black “Christian” man, he should know that it is blacks that are targeted the most, and by percentage are being killed through abortion at a higher rate than any other race. It's a damn shame.
