What she says: I’m fine
What she means: Why isn’t it taught that abortion was perfectly legal in the US in early 1870s and it wasn’t until a Jewish doctor, who was being framed, was put on trial for manslaughter (a trial, as well as the press covering it, which was greatly tinged with antisemitism) that opened the floodgates for antiabortion crusaders which eventually led to its criminalization?
I did not know this!
Me neither, until I read this book.
Look at the notes for the name of the book if anyone else is interested.
The book is called Bad Rabbi: And Other Strange but True Stories from the Yiddish Press. By Eddy Portnoy
Other recommended books in the notes that talk about this are:
The Moral Property of Sex by Linda Gordon
Rereading Sex by Helen Horowitz
