  Back Alley Births

  Actually, "back alley abortions" refers to the fact that doctors would let pregnant women seeking abortions into their clinics or private practices through the back-alley door rather than through the front door. Dr. Mary Calderone, past president of an abortion-rights organization in the 60s estimated that some 90% of all illegal abortions were performed by doctors or other medical personnel.
