Did You Know?
 
Roe v. Wade was a landmark legal decision issued on January 22, 1973.The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas statute banning abortion, therefore legalizing the procedure across the United States. The court held that a woman’s right to an abortion was a right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Recently, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, holding that there was no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion. You can learn more about the history of Roe v. Wade here.
