| Abstract | With an administration deeply opposed to abortion a Congress poised to pass legislation aimed at weakening the principles underlying Roe v. Wade and a Supreme Court whose composition is considered likely to change in the near future it is instructive to look back at the choices available—and not available—to women before abortion was made legal nationwide. The toll the nation's abortion laws took on women's lives and health in the years before Roe was substantial. Although the world may not be the same as it was three decades ago Roe's reversal would likely herald the return to a two-tier system in which safe abortion was available to some Americans but out of reach of many in need.
