As one of the first states to repeal its abortion statute before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, New York in particular spurred the genesis of sophisticated argumentation for and against legalized abortion.
Why did New York legalize abortion through the legislature and not through the courts? Four law professors and a judge discuss what happened in New York before Roe v. Wade.
