Abortion has always been an underlying option for pregnant females. The well-known case Roe v. Wade established that women have the right to an abortion through the 14th Amendment and right to privacy (Chicago-Kent College of Law, 2015b). Ten years after Roe v. Wade legalized abortion the case known as Planned Parenthood v. Casey questioned Pennsylvania?s restrictions on abortions in 1988 and 1989. Planned Parenthood challenged Pennsylvania Governor Casey on the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982 protesting the abortion restrictions (Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 1992). The law required more consent in order for mothers to get abortions. The Planned Parenthood v. …show more content…

    The Supreme Court case struck down the Massachusetts law that claimed that only married couples could obtain contraceptives that registered doctors or pharmacists provided. The Court stated that the law did not satisfy the rational basis test offered by the 14th Amendment. Perhaps one of the most widely known and controversial Supreme Court cases regarding contraceptives, Roe v. Wade still gains attention in legal debates today. The Supreme Court stated that by banning a woman’s right to an abortion, Texas violated her constitutional rights. Women hold the right to an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy under their 14th Amendment rights.

    Initially, Roe v. Wade was between a man named Henry Wade, Dallas district attorney, and Norma McCorvey, a resident in Dallas, Texas known as Jane Roe. Roe had fought for her ability to terminate her unwanted pregnancy in 1969 merely because she was not financially stable enough to care for her child. At the time, “ the estimated number of illegal abortions in the United States ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year ” (History.com). Of course, due to the unprofessionalism of these procedures, there were risks and many fatalities. This did not go unnoticed by the supreme court and in a seven-to-two decision, they successfully abolished Texas banning abortion.

  • How Did Roe V. Wade Impact Society

    489 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first case I researched that influenced American society was the Roe v. Wade case. Roe v. Wade ruled unconstitutional a state law that banned abortions except to save the life of the mother. In 1973 when this ruling was made, many states restricted and prohibited the practice of abortion. In 1970 "Jane Roe" (Norma McCorvey) filed a lawsuit against the state of Texas which criminalized abortions. Ms Roe claimed the law violated her constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy in a safe environment because she could not afford to travel to a state where it was permitted.

    Roe v. Wade There is no question that Roe v. Wade has had a profound impact on how American people think of reproductive rights today. For many people, they have never lived through a time without the ruling as precedent until recently. Despite its overturning in 2022, Roe v. Wade remains a cornerstone of women’s health and reproductive rights advocacy. The case began with a woman named “Jane Roe”, who sought to have an abortion but faced legal restrictions in Texas. The state of Texas argued to protect the “life” of an unborn fetus, as they declared it a person under the 14th Amendment (Temme).

  • Rra's Argument On Abortion

    According to the new statute, 48-hour waiting period even before the point of viability is considered unconstitutional. RRA’s argument on placing an undue burden on abortion even before the point of viability is considerable. According to the rule set forth by the U.S Supreme Court in Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania v. Casey “states could not impose an undue burden on women who, prior to viability of the fetus, sought to have an abortion.” According to the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982, the women seeking abortions must be given 24-hour waiting period (except in emergencies) to provide information on the abortion. In this new state statute, the 48-hour waiting period will be considered as a significant obstacle and also an undue burden, supporting the RRA’s argument against the enacted new

    “On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court announced its decision in Roe v. Wade, a challenge to a Texas statute that made it a crime to perform an abortion unless a woman’s life was at stake. The case had been filed by “Jane Roe,” an unmarried woman who wanted to safely and legally end her pregnancy. Siding with Roe, the court struck down the Texas law. In its ruling, the court recognized for the first time that the constitutional right to privacy “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy” (Roe v. Wade, 1973).

    The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.

Wade but the court decided to not revisit any parts of Roe v. Wade after this case. The Missouri restrictions did not violate the right to privacy or the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
