Question

How long have abortions been around for?

Answer 1

Forever, but in the 1970's Roe Vs. Wade was passed, giving women the right to legally kill their unborn babies.  By the way, now after all these years Roe has decided the law should be overturned.  She not only lived with killing her baby, but spurring millions and millions of innocent lives every year to be killed.

Answer 2

Cleopatra was said to be an expert at birth control and abortion.  She had the knowledge accumulated over several millenia at her disposal.  One can only assume that this has been available and in use practically since the advent of humankind.  

Especially during droughts and famines, this knowledge had be known and used to eliminate more mouths to feed in order to best save at least some of the families already starving.  During every economic downturn that has been traced (up until the past two decades), birth rates always declined substantially.  The population decreases cannot be accounted for solely by increased death rates due to starvation, disease -- there was a sharp decline in birth rates.

Answer 3

Hundreds, even thousands of years.  There are herbs that were taken in older days, sometimes bandages wrapped around the middle of the waist and the pregnancy progressed resulting in miscarriage, heavy objects being placed.  It's a part of life I guess....maybe not a postive factor, but part none the less.
