Before Roe v. Wade, you know how many abortion clinics were in most states?

No abortion was legal, even if it meant the mother was going to die; it would be similar to how doctors would treat the female as a brain tumor patient with not much time to live. You should hear the stories of women actually getting the job done through really primal ways, such as using a wire hanger, vacuum, or asking the male in the relationship to land blows in the abdominal area.
Also, I am not for all forms of abortion, as all forms of abortion are still illegal in the U.S. I have read a few posters saying about "popping," which I presume is when they preform an abortion during the third trimester, which is illegal unless the mother is facing certain death if she were to give birth. That's too much time, the baby is almost fully developed, and the way they preform those abortions are just horrific: With limbs literally being ripped apart.
I don't agree, really highly don't agree, with a few posters believing that the very second a sperm makes contact with an egg, automatically that's a human being. It takes at least 3 weeks for the zygote to be in a sort of "aware-like" state.
