Few issues are as politically enduring as abortion.
It is as hotly debated now as it was in 1973, when the Supreme Court handed down Roe vs. Wade. Abortion truly is the one moral issue of our times that won't go away. The landmark Roe vs. Wade decision changed the way women could enter into motherhood. Suddenly women had the option to obtain a safe, legal abortion. No longer would they need to look in dark alleys for supposed doctors, no longer would they have to flee in secrecy to distant locations, no longer would they have to attempt to abort the baby themselves.
