Abortion was illegal in 1900 and the woman was considered, by law cited on this thread, to be a victim of the abortion.
I will say that society was more rational, wise and just in 1900 than it is today.
The bloodiest century in all of human history, the 20th, has corrupted so much.
Like Al Pacino said in "The Devil's Advocate"...."The 20th Century was entirely mine.....All of it!"
