Question— how was this issue handled before Roe vs. Wade? Who was punished and in what manner, for illegal.abortions back then??
This question of do you punish a mother and all that, seems out of place to me. We have a long history before 1973 of abortions being regulated and/or banned in many states.Why does nobody talk about how those laws were enforced then, and who suffered legal sanctions due to the action then?? Isn’t that relevant to the debate?
You ask some good questions for someone from San Diego , Dilbert (see Roseanne Roseannadanna on SNL) But questions like that are now to be seen as quaint historical artifacts in a subject and issue that I am convinced will NEVER be discussed openly and honestly. It’s all demagoguery. It’s all distortion, and gross overstatement. On my part, one ofthe questions I ask is, as you keep pushing your NEVER AGAIN graphic with the woman holding up the wire coathanger, actually HOW MANY of these type of self-aborts have ever actually occurred? And even multiiplying those numbers by a hundred, how do they match up with the verifiable number ofLEGAL abortions made possible by Roe V. Wade? And how could all this happen in a period of social history in which contraception is available to everyone and in some cases FREE????

The past can be looked at and used as guidelines.

Not sure I agree with you. I’ve thought for years a woman that had an abortion is a murderer. There might be some reasons to have an abortion that are more acceptable than others but it doesn’t change the outcome one bit.
I’ve had the same question and did a bit of research and have had a hell of a time finding the answer.
