The very first head of state who legalized abortions is Lenin. The head of Communist Russia. Does USA follow Lenin?
No, But why assume that Lenin was always wrong? Abortion used to be legal. There were very few laws against it. In the US abortion was legal and even relatively safe from its founding days. It was not until the later 1800,s that a widespread ban on it was even made. By 1910 it was illegal in all states but Kentucky.
