And then, there's the assumption the women were doing it themselves.
I’ll take your word on that. I was in High School during Roe vs. Wade. So, to say I was ignorant and naive’ is an understatment.
I honestly have no idea how many ‘home abortions’ were attempted, how many were successful and never were reported, how many were unsuccessful and required hospitalization, how many were unsucceful and resulted in the death of the mother - or how many were unsuccessful and resulted in a normal birth.
Logically, we would never know how many were successfully done at a Black Market clinic.
