90. I really think younger women take it for granted.
Abortion was illegal before 1973. I was the victim of an attempted sexual assault in 1975 and after that I joined a group that supported rape victims in the emergency rooms. There were other women in the group I joined who had been raped, had a bad experience with the police and emergency room, found out a few weeks later that they were pregnant, and had to figure out how to get a 'safe' underground abortion. It was a hell.

This was only 35 years ago. Things have changed. But things can easily change right back.
