- Oh, you're helping her to say that now. But in her original reply to
- Edward Simmonds, she suggested that the *INCIDENCE* of illegal abortion
- in 1860 has something to do with the ruling in Roe v. Wade in 1973.
- We're all waiting to hear what that "something" happens to be.
-
- Now, one last time. What is the claimed relationship between
- the INCIDENCE of illegal abortion in 1860 and the ruling in
- Roe v. Wade in 1973?

- Actually, it has something to do with it. Unlike you, Blackmun researched
- the issue before stating his opinion. You might try learning something
- about the issue.
