I'm sure this is a hot button for many of us. Personally I think it was a good decision. A girl that I went from kindergarten to high school with died from a "back alley" abortion because she couldn't legally go to a real doctor to end an accidental pregnancy. It's got nothing to do with her morals, she was a great friend who made a mistake that many of us did in those days. Unfortunately her would be father wanted nothing to do with a pregnant girlfriend so with her parents consent sought an abortion. Of course those were illegal back then and even the "best locations" to get one were questionable. Roe v Wade changed that for the good.

I had a cousin that was molested by her mother's brother. She told her mother, who would not believe her.
When she got pregnant, her mother called her a slut and kicked her out of the house. Some friends drove her to Tijuana where she got an abortion. She bled to death on the trip home.
She was my best friend.

She was 15 years old!

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I am sure it was a common story before Roe v Wade.
