...cultural and constitutional events, from undermining Broadway's creative period of the '60s and '70s to distorting Supreme Court cases. He claims that Hair, the Broadway show, existed only to test the limits of censorship. He also corrupts important historical events, such as the introduction of the Pill and Roe v. Wade. He never mentions the feminist critique of the Pill, as a pharmaceutical example of male control of the reproductive nature of women, and claims that Roe never knew that she could not have an abortion after the third trimester, a fallacy according to the legal history...

Attacks against abortion providers and clinics have been a constant occurrence in the last 15 years. There have been over 2,000 documented cases of violence against abortion providers since the passage of Roe v. Wade 28 years ago.

Another of Osborn's pseudo-arguments is the picture of a harsh pre-Roe world where back-alley abortions killed thousands each year. This claim is not simply a misrepresentation, but a consciously fabricated and propagated lie. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of National Abortion Rights Activist League, who now opposes abortion, stated, "We spoke of 5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year [from back-alley abortions].
