126 Roe vs Wade - One Minute History

The video discusses Norma McCorvey's third pregnancy and her denied abortion in Texas, leading to the landmark Roe v. Wade case. Under the pseudonym Jane Roe, McCorvey sued the state, resulting in a Supreme Court decision on January 22, 1973, that ruled in her favor. The court declared that women have a fundamental right to choose an abortion, citing the right to privacy from the 14th and 9th Amendments. However, the ruling allowed states to intervene for the mother's health or the fetus's life. This decision sparked a national debate on abortion rights that persists today.
