So when Alito looks specifically at abortion laws in 1868 to determine what's "rooted in history", he's choosing that date very carefully, because beore that point, abortions before the final trimester were unrestricted and easy to come by.

@chimeracoder Yeah it was VERY telling that Alito focused on how many states criminalized abortion at the adoption of the 14th Amendment rather than when the Constitution was written
