Roe vs Wade Case

The Roe vs Wade Case has been a controversial court case across the United States for some time and the latest Supreme Court ruling has brought this back to public attention. To fully comprehend why this case is so controversial, we must first understand what is it, and the perspectives from both sides. The Roe vs Wade was a Supreme Court Case about abortion. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, and it is commonly done in the first 28 weeks of the pregnancy. This case first started in the 1970’s but was reopened this year (2022). In the year 1973, the Supreme Court made the decision allowing women in the United States to have the fundamental right to choose to have abortions without excessive government restrictions- making it a constitutional right. However, since then the topic of abortion has remained controversial with views split across the government party lines. The Republican Party is pro-life (meaning they do not support any abortions) and the Democratic Party is pro-choice (meaning that women have the choice to get an abortion if they want one). This has caused many arguments and discussions across the United States, with both sides arguing against one another. The topic of abortion is often mixed with religious belief and this topic has been an ongoing debate for decades. This year the Roe vs. Wade case was reopened, and the Supreme Court overturned it on June 24, 2022. This created major public reactions and debates across the United States. With the Supreme Court ruling to terminate Roe vs. Wade provision, the abortions are no more a constitutional right for women at the federal level. However, each individual states can choose to either allow or stop all abortions. The power is moved back to the states, and this will affect tens of millions of people across the country dealing with pregnancy problems. Overall, we can see how the topic of abortion has caused many arguments, discussions, and court cases in United States history and how no matter what the outcome is, there are people that are unhappy with this on one or the other side of aisle.
