Short Term Effects

The supreme court case of Roe vs Wade had a major effect on politics in the United States. News about it was spread all over the United States during this time. It was such a big deal because not only did it effect Jane Roe and the others in the court case, it effected the entire United States population. Jane Roe went to court to try to legalize abortion. She had to go to court to do this because it wasnt legal to get an abortion unless it would save the pregnant woman's life. During the court case Jane Roe's lawyer Sarah Weddington couldn't find her constitutional hook and that mistake set them back. She fixed her mistakes and came back with a stonger arguement in the next round. In the end after 2 years the court, with a 7 to 2 vote, decided that for the first 3 months the pregnant woman has complete control over her pregnancy.
