We trust women to have jobs, to vote, to serve in the military, to raise children. But when it comes to abortion, somehow women lose their brains and their moral agency and become half-wits who pass an abortion clinic and say ‘Hey, let’s have an abortion instead of going to the mall.’

A man who assisted in autopsies in a big urban hospital, starting in the mid-1950s, describes the many deaths from botched abortions that he saw. ‘The deaths stopped overnight in 1973.’ He never saw another in the 18 years before he retired. ‘That,’ he says, ‘ought to tell people something about keeping abortion legal.’
