The landmark Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
Roe v. Wade
Abortion.
2012
The landmark Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade was about a woman's right to have an abortion, based on the constitutional right to privacy.
The US Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Roe vs. Wade.
Ruled that abortion is legal.
No, only the US Supreme Court can.
The Supreme Court always has the option of altering its own earlier rulings. They can change their collective mind. Therefore yes, Roe v. Wade could be overturned. That is not to say that I expect it to be overturned, but the possibility exists.
Roe v. Wade was not located in a specific physical location. It refers to a landmark Supreme Court case that was decided on January 22, 1973. The case took place at the United States Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
