There is no doubt that when she successfully filibustered on women’s reproductive rights, she inspired the women in this country like few have in a very long time.

I was among them. I came of age in the seventies. While the fights for women’s rights were still being raged, the bra burning women’s libbers were older than me, and I was too young to understand completely.

In those days, so many women were dying from illegal backroom abortions; the concern seemed to preempt all other. Our high school physical education (PE) teacher kept trying to tell us about the things she felt that we, as young women, needed to know. We had lecture after lecture about the dangers of backroom abortions and clothes hangers.

In a time when to be unmarried and with child meant living as an outcast and in poverty, illegal and makeshift abortions were a tremendous risk to the lives of unmarried women who found themselves pregnant.
