From the Paper:

"The termination of unwanted pregnancy through abortion practices likely predates recorded human history. Ancient societal records reveal myriad practical and ritualistic methods for inducing abortion through all manner of drug-like agents and physical manipulation (or external battery) of the gestating fetus. By the end of the Industrial Revolution, the technological capabilities of modern medicine and the development of anesthesia sparked a considerable increase in demand for medical intervention in response to unwanted pregnancy."
