The left of today that arose with your movement is very different to their left wing forerunners.
That old left actively fought authoritarian, bureaucratic and totalitarian tendencies. It broke with orthodox Marxist-Leninist views, and state-centric views, focusing instead on self-organisation and civic disobedience etc.
It sought to build independent civil society alongside institutions like the Catholic Church, and championed actual democracy. It merged classical liberalism, anti-totalitarianism, and free-market advocacy with emphasis on tolerance and actual human rights (not the weaponisation of same).
Today's left are very far from these ideals, and your movement played a huge role in it, as I have tried to explain.
Also, back closer to the topic, note that the old left did not look on abortion as an "individual rights" issue as they do today.
