Back when I was in school {public school, northern Virginia},

Roe v. Wade came before SCOTUS; had a young Jewish woman as our American History / Civics teacher. She handed out an assignment, where we read of a woman, who's first husband had died, followed shortly after by her mother. Her two children by the first marriage had then died.
Her second marriage was a mistake; he was an abusive alcoholic. Our teacher's question was, would you permit her to have an abortion? The vast majority of us, naive children that we were, answered yes. She then told us who we would have allowed to be aborted ................ this short film tells his story ......................
