Criminalization or abortion!?!?

I thought the drinking age was state law, but I saw something on the internet when I was double-checking... guess I didn't read carefully enough. I knew that all the states were basically coerced, because Wisconsin was the last to give in. But I guessed that maybe since then it had become a Federal law. Anyways, thanks for the clarification.

Well that is a problem they are facing in Ireland, yet I don't hear about Irish girls getting prosecuted for abortion in N. Ireland or England.

Not prosecuted , but it has led to very lengthy court cases where they have tried to stop women from travelling . Often in rather nasty cases involving rape victims or incestuous relationships .
All very nice and civilised .
