Before technology existed you could not do this.
What a ridiculous statement. Why do you think 'no coathanger' symbols are widespread in the pro-choice movement? Technology has never been required in order to get an abortion, just a willingness to take the chances of severely detrimental side effects, up to and including death. All technology has done is to reduce the number of women dying from other cruder forms of termination.
