My views on Roe were formed the day it was passed when my grandmother and mother discussed never having to hold the hand of a your woman as she bleeds to death from a back ally botched abortion again.. My grandmother was big on abortion rights and lived through times when people were sent to prison for it. She lived through a time when families had to chose between letting one child starve to death so the others could survive. If we ever get in another deep depression we're headed straight back to the same conditions and that's why Roe happened in the first place. The SCOTUS judges sitting in the bench at the time also lived through those dark times. It wasn't that long ago. My mother was born just two years before the beginning of the last depression. My grandmother raised 7 kids in it.
