Millions of people’s lives changed Friday, June 24th. The Supreme Court of the United States announced its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. That means there’s no more constitutional guarantee of abortion rights and it’s up to each individual state to decide the legality of abortions. The reasoning behind it: our country’s “history and traditions,” according to the Supreme Court….
LX News Storyteller Jalyn Henderson talked with Leslie Jean Reagan to find out. Reagan teaches Women and Gender Studies at the University of Illinois - Urbana Champagne and authored"When Abortion Was a Crime." There was a time in U.S. history when abortion was completely legal.
Horatio Storer, who led this movement, did his own little studies and collected data. He produced this report that showed that the immigrant family size was much larger. They had many more children and they were going to outnumber the class of people in power like him. And so that's what drove that movement.So in the 1950s and 60s, some people could go to a doctor and were able to get a legal, therapeutic abortion in a hospital that they knew would be safe.
So for everybody else — all classes, all races, all religious groups and ages — people decide and recognize, 'Oh, they need an abortion.' And the law frightened and made it harder, it made people feel like they were criminals. But they still, even in cases where they were not at all sure who they were seeing, they still went and
got abortions. So there were people who were very good practitioners, if you could find them there. There were people who were not so good and not competent and people ended up injured or died as a result.It is a decision about the Constitution and the rights of women and the rights of doctors. The rights of women to privacy and bodily autonomy and the rights of doctors to practice medicine in their good judgment.
