It was by no means clear that abortion rights would be anywhere near as extensive they are today without Roe. Before Roe, most of the states that passed laws allowing abortion were for limited circumstances, or only at the beginning of pregnancy. New York passed an abortion law in 1970 that was almost as extensive as Roe, but it would have been repealed in 1972 if not for Rockefeller's veto.

Abortions are becoming safe, legal, and rare. Morning after pills becoming norm and other contraceptives, also abstinance.

Legal? yes. Safe? an odd way to describe it, but that's relative I guess. But abortion is far from rare.  There has been a gradual reduction since the 1990s, but has gone up with the recession.  41 percent of pregnancies end in abortion in NYC.

Let's at least wait until it's peer-reviewed and published before we start promoting late-term abortions on the basis of a single study.
