Roe v. Wade turns 40 amid waning abortion access
After years of litigation in the Roe v. Wade case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of Roe, legalizing abortion 40 years ago today.
The court extended the right to privacy clause in the 14th Amendment to a person’s choice to have an abortion; however, that right must be balanced with the state’s interest to protect prenatal life, according to the ruling.

Usually, I’m not one to do the whole reblog thing, but I thought this post was too good to not share.
One of my friends went on a pro-life march today. I almost wanted to ask her what the point of that was–she lives in North Dakota, one of those states where abortion is just barely legal and there’s only one provider in the whole state. I don’t think she has to worry about abortion services being too widely available where she lives
There are people in North Dakota? J\kidding, maybe she’s taking her activism to a new level. One would have to marching in North Dakota at this time of the year. BRRRRR!
If nothing else, I do have admire the strength of her convictions to be doing this, yes.
