The late Dr. William Raushbaum, who performed late-term abortions, describes how, after Roe versus Wade, none of the new abortionists knew much about performing abortions:
“Like the other board-certified doctors who were suddenly doing procedures previously relegated to back alleys, Rashbaum lacked training in the necessary medical techniques. “None of us knew what we were doing,” he says. “The only people who knew how to do abortions were the criminals. Rashbaum and his colleagues practically taught themselves how to perform abortions and were limited by the crude instruments of those days — Dixie cups attached to the suction machine by rubber bands.”

As you can see, Roe versus Wade did not always create safe conditions for abortions – in some ways, things got worse.
