How do you know what abortion was intended for?  Give us a reference to
your evidence for intent.  My impression is that abortion was invented
centuries ago, not for medical necessity, but for social necessity, by
young women who were in panic because a pregnancy would "ruin their
lives."  However, my evidence consists mostly of vague memories from
old novels.  Am I misled?  If so, set me right.
