That's a tricky one, since prior to 1973 (Roe vs Wade) abortions were illegal. In 1873 the Comstock Law made it illegal to give anyone information regarding abortions in the United States. So I would venture to guess that abortions started in the US right about the time the US was being started.

United States Supreme Court ruling: Roe v. Wade (1973)
16 states still have pre-1973 anti-abortion laws on the books even though they are clearly unconstitutional and nullified under Roe v. Wade.

It has been around in one form or another for centuries, but was legislated by Roe v. Wade (1974).
