The U.S. Supreme Court had given its support for people affecting the gene pool through artificial means as early as the 1920s. However, this manifested as the eugenics movement in cases like Buck vs. Bell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_v._Bell).

I know abortion and eugenics are two separate things, but I think if an abortion case came to the SCOTUS at this time, they would likely vote in favor of legalizing it nationwide for the same reasons they supported eugenics.

With abortion legalized this early, how would this affect the anti-abortion movement? Would it just be accepted by now? Would this become a wedge issue for politicians as it is today?
