Historically, abortion has been more often legal than illegal.
It was made illegal in the period from 1847 to 1880, and stayed that way until 1973 (roe v wade). Of the 246 years since the declaration of independence, abortion has been fully legal for 120 years, illegal in a patchwork of states for 33 years, and illegal fully for 93 years.
A good twitter thread with some fun re-framing of the history of abortion:
