Abortions started when women started conceiving. As long as there have been women, there have been babies, and there have been abortions. Even when laws forbid it, abortions occur; In the early 1970's a million abortions were performed in the US, even when many states had criminal laws against it. In January, 1973, the Supreme Court struck down such a law from Texas, noting that antiabortion laws dated only from the late 1800's in the US. After 1973, anyone for any reason could legally seek an abortion.
