It's still a man's world,

I was just reading these stories of women who were raped and had an illegal abortion pre 1973. It amazes me that we are still fighting to have this discussion today. The horror some young girls went through getting raped, then having to go through the horror of having to get an illegal abortion.
I was young 20ish in early 70's and remember daily watching the news and reading the newspaper. It was very common to hear or read about another female who went to a backdoor illegal abortionist or used a coat hanger and the girl would end up messed up physically or bled to death.
Of course, talking about legalizing abortion was very BIG news and I had mixed feelings about it. But, when I would think of what was going on at that time, women were so desperate they would put their lives on the line, then of course it seemed like the right thing to do, legalize abortions.
For so many who have not lived through those times, it doesn't register what an important issue this really is.

And then of course, these pro-lifers talk about what should happen to the pregnant girl instead of what they really should be asking,
what should we do to the rapist???? Isn't that something that the focus is on the girl and not the male?
