The End of Roe vs Wade?
| Tue, 04-04-2006 - 3:52pm |
South Dakota just passed a bill that will outlaw virtually all abortions. If the governor signs the bill, it will be a crime for doctors to perform an abortion except in cases where it is necessary to save the woman’s life. No exceptions would be made for rape or incest. It’s likely this bill will eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, and if it does, it’s possible that the Court will overturn Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion. Other states are considering similar bills.
Do you think it’s inevitable that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned? If this happens, what are the potential consequences to you and to other women?
