Abortion is the most binary of issues. The vast majority of America is firmly ensconced on one side or the other, with no possibility of being dislodged.

When the Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade leaked a few weeks ago, passions immediately ran high, in the public and in the newsroom. Everyone seemed to want to do something.Of course, we will publish stories about the Supreme Court decision and how Ohio legislators respond. And, of course, we will cover the public’s reaction to those stories.
I’m going to receive angry emails for asking these questions, I’m sure. And I’m as certain that I will get them from people on both sides of the issue. We make people angry no matter what we write about abortion because people have such strong feelings about it. People who see abortion as a Constitutional right want stories to support their position. People who see abortion as murder want stories to support that opinion.
But women were getting abortions despite the prohibition. Stories from back then make clear that women had options, in state and out of state, if they had the cash. And those without means were left to barbaric abortion choices.
