Hey! Welcome to my blog, this blog is about Abortion. Abortion is a very controversial topic in this country. For those who don’t know what abortion is it is a procedure that a woman can get to terminate a pregnancy. This law was passed in 1973 and that is because of a court case that was proceeding called Roe v Wade. Roe v Wade started when a lady named Norma McCorvey who wanted to be anonymous and came up with the name Jane Roe. McCorvey, who lived in Texas, was 22, unmarried, and looking to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. But she couldn’t: In Texas, it was abortion was a crime unless a woman’s life was at risk. Similar statutes were in place in nearly every other state at the time. So McCorvey, seeking to safely and legally abort her pregnancy, sued Henry Wade, the Dallas County district attorney, in 1970. The case went on to the Supreme Court. This topic is very important because the nation is divided about this law because some people think abortion shouldn’t be allowed at all or that it should be regulated or you have a complete opposite where women think you have a right to an abortion at any point in time.
