The US President, Richard Nixon, was Republican.

In the 93rd and 94th Congresses, which covers the period from 1973-1975, the Democrats had a slight majority in the Senate; and a signficant majority in the House.

Before you go blaming Democrats, bear in mind that neither the President NOR Congress had any ability to influence the Supreme Court's decision, nor to change it once made.

Consider the number of liberals a post-Vietnam-War spike reflecting the mood of more than half the population in many areas of the country. Nixon, a Republican, was elected, in large part, because he promised to end the war.

The Roe v. Wade case was decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1973. At that time, the Republican Party held the presidency, with Richard Nixon in office. However, the case was not decided along party lines, as the Court's ruling was a 7-2 decision.
