11. I know it wasn't made illegal in any states until the mid/late 1800's
During the mid 1800's the US abortion rates were very similar to those during the 70's. Abortionist used to advertise in the daily papers and it was an open and lucrative business. Then in the late 1800's they began to claim fear for the womens safety that were undergoing abortions and things began to change.

Odd isn't it, that this has become such a political issue with todays Americans.
