Article claims that 80 – 90% of women would not have abortions if they were illegal

Dr. Richard R. Parlour and Dr. James H. Ford, MD examined nine studies about women and abortion and wrote, in 1974, that the studies:

“showed that 80 to 90 percent of the women who have legally induced abortions would not opt for the abortion if it were illegal.”

Quoted in Mark Crutcher  “Lime 5: Exploited by Choice ” (Denton, Texas: Life Dynamics Incorporated, 1996)

This is an old source and, unfortunately, I was not able to find the original article. Mark Crutcher, author and head of Life Dynamics may be able to help research the issue further.
