Sommario/riassunto

In 1973, in the case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court finally decided that women should be allowed to have an abortion. This book gives the background on the case and the path the case took to make it to the Supreme Court, and presents both the majority and dissenting opinions related to the case. It also takes a look at the lasting impact the case has continued to have on policies and the legal system.
