I took my US states and capitals test, and missed most of the presentation on abortion.
Connecticut was first state to ban abortion in 1821, by 1860 20 states made it illegal
Roe vs Wade in 1973 legalized abortion by the 14th amendment, and in 1976 Hyde amendment took all funding for abortion.
In 1977 revised Hyde amendment gave government funding for rape, incest, or for women who would be in danger if they did give birth. In 2003 late term abortions were banned.
In Iowa, parents of a minor must be notified for an abortion, people in hospitals can refuse to give an abortion, safe haven act, up to 14 days after birth the mother can leave the baby with someone in the hospital without charges.
two thirds of abortions happen between the ages of 18-19 years old.
There is over a million abortions in the US each year. Pro life protesters can be considered terrorists because of bombings of abortion clinics and killing doctors that perform abortions.
