The Deacon’s Bench: What does the name Abort73 actually mean? The connection becomes more clear after watching our intro video, January 1973, which plays on the Abort73 homepage. We took the word “abortion” and shortened it to “abort” – which can either mean to have an abortion, or more generally, to terminate an operation or procedure. Next, we took the year in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all state prohibitions against abortion, 1973, and shortened it to “73″. When put together you can look at the name in two ways. Either it is an abbreviation of Abortion 1973, or it is a resource to help “abort” (terminate) the fallout of that 1973 verdict. Both work, and both were in view when the name was chosen. More here.
