  • The New Yorkers were asked their opinions on abortion.

  • The former president of the organization was one of the people from New York.

  • Jovian was told that banning abortion endangers women.

One of the people he was talking to on the street turned out to be knowledgeable about abortion.

A day before the Supreme Court was to rule on the legality of abortion, a New York man was approached by a man who was also the former president of the organization.

Do you know who you are talking to? "Jovian, what do you think?" Alexander Sanger is my name." I was the president of the organization. Margaret Sanger was the founder of the women's health organization.

Margaret Sanger started the organization in 1916. She was a reproductive rights advocate and founded the American Birth Control League.

Jovian was told that abortion cannot be criminalized. It's all you do that makes it unsafe.

You endanger women. Poor women, women of color, women who don't have the advantages of the middle class, wealthy women to travel somewhere and get an abortion are some of the women he spoke about.

It's discrimination, it's unfair, it's unsafe, and to me, it's just a total outrage against women.

He told Jovian that his wife questioned if she should have an abortion when she was pregnant.

When I was pregnant, I wondered if I should have an abortion. "That's right." It wouldn't be easy to do.
