What did Roe v Wade legalize?

Answer 1

Roe v. Wade made it legal to have an abortion until the baby can live outside of the womb without the mom. It protected a woman's right to decide what happens to her body and that the interest of the woman is greater than the potential baby until the baby is old enough that it could live outside the womb by itself.

Answer 2

A pregnant single woman named Norma L. McCorvey (AKA Jane Roe) wanted to get an abortion but she couldn't because it was illegal in Texas where she lived. She tried to get around the law by falsely claiming she was raped. That failed, since she didn't have a police report to corroborate her story. She also tried visiting an illegal clinic, but it was already closed by the police. So she ended up seeing attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington. McCorvey ended up giving birth to a baby girl before the case was decided. The child was immediately given up for adoption.

Anyway, the Supreme Court overturned the state law and legalized abortion. They decided it was unconstitutional not to allow it, based on the 9th and 14th amendments and the outcome of other cases such as Doe v. Bolton and Griswold v. Connecticut. Ironically, Norma McCorvey eventually changed her position on the issue and became a pro-life supporter.

Answer 3

Well, depends on what you're asking.

Roe v. Wade was a case on a single pregnant woman who wanted an abortion, but Texas law prohibited it. She took it to court and it escalated to the US Supreme Court.

If you're wondering about the final dispute, it was settled for abortion to be legal. Although, there are still arguments on the case.

Answer 4

Roe v. Wade, (1973) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case establishing that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy, and overturned all state laws outlawing or unduly restricting abortion. It is one of the most controversial decisions in US Supreme Court history.

The Court held

• States could not limit the right to abortion during the first trimester that was to be left to the "medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician."
• From the end of the first trimester to viability, the state could "regulate abortion in ways that are reasonably related to maternal health."
• After viability, the state could regulate, or even prohibit, abortion except where necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.

The Supreme Court did not impose its own regulations on abortion; it only set guidelines for the states to follow.

Although Roe v. Wade was based on a Texas law, the Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in every state in the nation.

Answer 5

The fact that this atrocity has been accepted by our world and especially by our so called Christian country, Jesus has said itis the greatest sin committed by man kind in this century and we will pay the price for transgression. Wars, terroism , weather calamities, murders , diseases of all kinds, ruined families, greed of all kinds, economic disasters , drugs that kill, and the worst is still to come. It will get so bad that people will commit suicide by the thousands. Lucifer the Devil said that he would have thousands of his children in the coming years. They are here now and they are into all sements of our society,especially in the news media. This includes both sexes. Even our youth are going to be done in. The Devil does his job well . The thing that hurts God is that we do these things by our free will, we make the choices we send our selves th hell , God will not interfere with our free will. We are so stupid.......

Answer 6

Roe v Wade allowed abortion through 9 months of pregnancy in most states, for the so-called health of the mother(mental, emotional, and/or physical).
