Many of these have been hard cases with very personal feelings, but the perserverance showed through and gives us the rights we have today. Eight years later, the Supreme Court ruled the right to privacy included abortions. Roe v. Wade was based upon this case. The Supreme Court declared the law unconstitutional, but refused to order an injunction against the state. This case supported a woman's control over her own body and reproductive system.
Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in the world today.
Everyone has their own individual opinion. A woman's body is hers and hers alone. Nobody has the right to make her do something that she does not want to. The Supreme Court has stated it is the women's right to have an abortion, if she so chooses, according to Roe v. Wade. In the same ruling, though, the Court gave states new powers to restrict access to abortions.
