Abortion has been legal nationwide in the United States for 30 years. Statistics as well as the personal accounts of physicians and women who are now grandmothers tell the tale of hardship, injury and death due to American women's underground recourse to illegal, septic procedures in an earlier time. These provide an important context for the current debate over the future of legal abortion in the United States--but the fact remains that the country's memory of life before Roe v. Wade is becoming more and more remote.
