Roe v. Wade (1973) This case was the case that made the state law that banned abortion except to save mother’s life unconstitutional. The Court ruled that states could only control abortion during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Obviously this law is supporting the pro-choice stance that many people hold today, as it is limiting the way that the state can interfere with the choices of a woman who finds herself pregnant. I am so grateful that this law exists because I find it appalling that anyone would be willing to take away a women's right to her own body, and most importantly her right to choose what is done with it. By making laws to ban women from getting abortions confines them to being nothing but a piece of public property. I am very passionate about this because I do not see how a women, who a lot of the time in these situations is terrified and overwhelmed, who is trying to make the best decision for herself and her life, effects the state to a point where they feel the need to pass a law to literally ban them from making a choice.
