You have penned a wonderful history of a complicated subject. In Ireland, before abortion became legal, women with money just flew to England for a vacation. When I was growing up, women with money had a procedure called a D & C. Women without money often died from using smake oil salesmen. Republicans believe in smaller government, except when it concerns women's rights, voting rights for people of color, or Democrats, then they want the full force of the Federal government to intervene. Huge military budgets are OK, any social programs that might help people are NOT OK. We are still blockading Cuba fearful of an invasion of socialists who might spread the ideas of universal health care, paid paternity leave, and free school lunches for children in need. America as "THe City on the Hill" has become if it ever was, The City in the Cesspool.
