“I can recall in the time I have been in public service that the vocal supporters of Roe v. Wade and keeping abortion safe and legal used to contain in their ranks many women who remembered vividly from a personal experience or a family experience what it was like before Roe v. Wade, when women in desperate circumstances sought an abortion in an unhealthy, unsanitary, unclean surrounding, endangering their lives. I ask the Senator, does she believe the national debate is different today because we have had 25 or 30 years of legal opportunities to terminate a pregnancy and, thank goodness, there are fewer of those women whose lives were lost or damaged because of these illegal and unsafe abortions that preceded them?”
