In the United States, abortion is still legal. But state laws and anti-abortion forces are making it harder for women to exercise this right. Ever day there are fewer doctors performing abortions. At the result of this, women will find themselves trapped--forced into waiting longer for more difficult abortions, forced to take poisons in the hope of killing the fetus, forced to bear unwanted children or find some unsafe way to fast abortions at the risk of either death or serious injury. All this was routine in the United States prior to 1973 and continue
