one of my pettiest complaints about star trek is that they always say “hailing [the other ship]” and then 0.3 seconds later say “no response” as though they’re meant to have had time to even register they’re being hailed let alone RESPOND
What she means: Why isn’t it taught that abortion was perfectly legal in the US in early 1870s and it wasn’t until a Jewish doctor, who was being framed, was put on trial for manslaughter (a trial, as well as the press covering it, which was greatly tinged with antisemitism) that opened the floodgates for antiabortion crusaders which eventually led to its criminalization?
I did not know this!
Me neither, until I read this book.
Look at the notes for the name of the book if anyone else is interested.
