What was the Trimester Rule established in Roe v Wade?
In Roe v. Wade, (1973), the Supreme Court established guidelines for abortion according to a strict "trimester rule."
- No statutory restriction on abortion allowed during the first trimester.
"For the stage prior to approximately the end of the first trimester, the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician."
- After the first trimester, but prior to fetal viability, the State may regulate abortion in a reasonable way, if it promotes the health of the mother.
"For the stage subsequent to approximately the end of the first trimester, the State, in promoting its interest in the health of the mother, may, if it chooses, regulate the abortion procedure in ways that are reasonably related to maternal health."
- Once the fetus reaches viability, the States may choose to prohibit abortion except where necessary to preserve the health or life of the mother.
"For the stage subsequent to viability the State, in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life, may, if it chooses, regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother."

What might happen if Roe v Wade were overturned?
How illegal it would be we don't know. I have a hard time to see it would be illegal to save a mothers life for instance or for rape and incest. That would bring the US and the women's movement back to mideaval times.
They would also have to change the constitution since a zygote/embryo/fetus is not protected by it. If the embryo would have the same rights as a born this could also mean that women could be punished for smoking or taking a drink during pregnancy. Men causing a woman's miscarriage would go to prison for life for murder or in some states get the chair. If you cause an accident, by mistake or not, you can get sentenced for murder. Overturning Roe vs Wade, if it would mean giving embryos and fetuses equal rights would lead to much more changes then just more unwanted children being born and a big lack of fosterparents and adoptive parents.
The medical birth control methods would be next unless they could 100% ensure that they don't work once the egg is fertilized. Women would be suspected of illegal abortion when they have a miscarriage (a case like that is already in court) and it might be like it is in some countries where the husband has to be notified if she has a miscarriage or the burden of proving that that is what it was is on her and not the police.
With the defunding going on if Planned Parenthood and others, based on the lie they perform abortions with tax payers money, the programs that support teen moms will be gone and there will be more young girls becoming single mothers, many against their will, and even more dropping out of school, more then today's 60%. Very few will have a chance to go back without help and the education level among young women will drop. GOP is only interested in stopping abortions and not supporting the babies once they are born it seems so it will be a women trap since most single parents are women.

If a firms ROA and ROE are equal it can be concluded?
Since ROE = ROA (Equity Multiplier) in order for ROE to equal ROA the equity multiplier must be one. In other words, the total assets to total shareholders' equity ratio must be one.
Who made abortions legal in the US?
Rather than use the term "made legal" I would substitute "made LAWFUL." The decision was rendered by a majority opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court in a case known as "Roe vs. Wade."
