In 1973, the Supreme Court decided in a 7 to 2 vote for Roe's case. She was an unmarried pregnant woman who wanted to get an abortion in the state of Texas. Texas had prohibited abortion unless the mother's life is in danger.
Obviously, the choice should be available to mothers if their lives are in danger. However, the state argues against this choice because certain states are generally geared toward one end of the political party spectrum. They want to maintain their ideals in the courts as well as hold down state values that have long prospered in that particular state.
Roe v. Wade has to be one of the cornerstones of this nation. Not only did this case simply gave women their right to have an abortion or not, it was a stepping stone for other liberal proposals.
