Abortions are not done in bedrooms. But even if they were, the bedroom is no more a sanctuary from the law than is a cornfield.

The reality is, many illegal acts happen in bedrooms. In fact, some – spousal abuse, incest, statutory rape, and pedophilia, just to name a few – usually happen in bedrooms. Let’s also not forget that back when abortion was illegal, the public was at no greater risk of having their bedrooms invaded by the state than they are today.
