Wow, that was U.S. in the seventies.

This was Sweden in the seventies:
Quote
The current legislation is the Abortion Act of 1974. This states that up until the end of the eighteenth week of the pregnancy the choice of an abortion is entirely up to the woman, for any reason whatsoever. After the 18th and until the 22nd week a woman needs to get permission from the authorities to have an abortion. Permission for these late abortions are usually granted in cases when the fetus or the mother are unhealthy. The issue is largely settled, the question of the legality of abortion is not a political issue, and no relevant debates exist on the matter

Altough abortion got legal in Sweden 1938, but only if you had medical, humanitarian, or eugenical grounds. Then in 1946 we included socio-medical grounds and again in 1963 to include the risk of serious fetal damage.

Roe v Wade was decided by our Supreme Court in January 1973, so first trimester abortions were legalized in the US then.

I think that first trimester abortions still are legal in every state except South Dakota, but there are no doctors who offer abortions in some states.

We have a different balance of justices in the Supreme Court now, so I don't know how long first trimester abortions will remain legal here.

Thank god I am a male who has about zero chance if getting laid.  That means I don't need to worry about this issue.
