Boy how times have changed.

RE: Boy how times have changed.
I remember the times when a woman wasn't allowed to take a job if her husband didn't agree. And she couldn't even open a bank account without her lord and master saying it's OK. That only ended in 1977. At least in the largest part of Europe. Abortion is only legal since 1975. There actually was a very popular crime series on German tv that was called "Der Kommissar" (The commissioner), which tended to pick up on contemporary social issues of the 70ies. It featured an episode about illegal abortion.

On a side note, all the mains on this series were smoking and boozing as if there was no tomorrow. So much so that several columnists wrote pieces about the lead actors (Erik Ode) smoking habits. This being the 70ies, they were rather advertising fags than condemning the habit.
