Definición

  • The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade (1973) gave women a qualified constitutional right to abortion . The decision touched off an intense legal and political controversy that continues to this day. Efforts to overturn the ruling by constitutional amendment failed, but the Court has narrowed the impact of the ruling by refusing to require public financing of abortions for poor women and by upholding some state regulations that made abortions more difficult to obtain.
