20. I've written this in the past.

My Mother was an RN. She was a young just out of nursing school nurse when on a Saturday evening her Doctor came and picked her up to go to a remote farmhouse to nurse a patient. The young girl had gone out of state for an illegal abortion and it had gone very wrong. My Mother described this story may times, finding a bloated, swollen stomach with a patient in great pain. The Doctor did his work and my Mother stayed with the young girl for several days insuring her survival. She went on to get married and birthed children so it has a happy ending. This was sometime in the early 1930's.
My Mother was a Republican but always stood for legal abortion. Nobody likes abortion, but if it is illegal the cases as I have described would be commonplace again. It hasn't been that long but people tend to forget.
In my opinion the religious zealots against women's medical choice are trying to get government to do what they could not do within their flock.
Ours is a perverted society, we do not as a culture appreciate our sexuality as it is, a natural part of life.
