Abortion and Religious Beliefs

[Fool]

prior to the ama being formed in the late 1800s, abortions were legal and usually carried out by women helping women.

supposedly that changed with the formation of the ama; which at that time was a male dominated field.

would the current religious culture of the times played a part in the formation of any kind of group? especially those that saw themselves as more moralistic and the majority wielding power?

women have struggled for centuries for equality. in some aspects they still are. anything that isn't caucasian, male, affluent, and religious is going to have a hell of time overcoming those who want to be in control but aren't really mentors

The affluent ones are looked up to, but they themselves don't tend to be affluent. Most Christians are not affluent.

Abortions in the usa didn't become a popular political subject until the religious right realized that advocating for desegagration was no longer a popular choice.
