A little factoid.. Before Roe, abortion was legal is most states..

Legal in some, not in others; what really unhinged this country was the marketing of the Pill, and a little-known Supreme Court decision just before Roe that made it legal for doctors to prescribe the Pill to unmarried women. It was couched in broad language of non-discrimination between the married and the unmarried. That decision was then used like a shoehorn to dismantle every other legal distinction of marriage, such as the rights of hotels or apartment owners not to rent rooms to unmarried couples, and many other applications of the sex-drugs-rock'n'roll revolution.
