... or weren't born in a time when abortion could be made completely illegal.

It's hard for people to conceptualize a time when they don't have the choice. They haven't been face to face with people that have thrown themselves down stairs, poisoned themselves, had people kick them in the stomach repeatedly, used coat-hangers on themselves, etc. Without this being "real" to them they can only come to terms with it in the abstract. Abortion is "real" to them.

Sadly, the battle for over abortion is a battle for hegemony.
