Question

Do you think the court made the right decision in its ruling on Roe v. Wade? Write a short essay (100 to 150 words) describing why you think the court did or did not make the right decision.

Answer 1

From a sociological standpoint, objectively yes. Roe v. Wade struck down Texas legislature attempting to ban abortions and affirmed a woman’s right to have a safe and legal abortion in the United States. Before legal abortion, women were forced to turn to illegal, often dangerous methods that sometimes proved fatal if not physically damaging in the long term. Proper legislature ensured that women stayed informed, safe, and alive. Abortion is less a debate of ethics and more a personal choice made safe and officially regulated by this landmark court case.
