Abortion first started being banned in the US in the 1800s not out of any moral or religious standpoint, but because abortions were largely the province of (female) midwives, and (male) doctors were trying to consolidate all medicine under their own power and authority.

Early feminists like Susan B. Anthony were /for/ abortion bans, but ONLY because they were more dangerous to the woman than childbirth and so should not be compelled unless necessary.

Modern abortions do no physical harm to the woman and so Anthony et al's objections have fallen by the wayside.

@noelle modern abortion is literally just swallowing a pill in most cases.
It's completely safe.

@noelle every medical procedure looks dangerous when you consider harming body cells to be "taking life away".
It's a hot topic but IMHO pre-embryonic cells are just mother cells. Making that go away is no less unethical than making teeth plague go away.

(AFAIK these pills work multiple days after impregnation. I'm not a woman and I never had an abortion so _please_ correct me if I'm wrong)
