Early American Abortion
- Alito's claim that abortion rights are not "deeply rooted" is historically inaccurate.
- Abortion was widely accepted in early America, even advertised, until the AMA's 1840s campaign.
AMA's Motivation
- The AMA's anti-abortion campaign was motivated by professional competition, not solely moral concerns.
- Midwives, primary abortion providers, were targeted to eliminate competition for male doctors.
Racist Roots
- 19th-century anti-abortion sentiment stemmed from anxieties about declining white birth rates.
- It was fueled by racist and anti-immigrant fears of "race suicide."
