I believe that Roe and Dr. Hallford had valid arguments to consider. Roe fought for what she believed were her basic human rights, and Dr. Hallford fought the unclarified law that could have ruined her life. The Does, however, did not have sufficient standing to take the matter to court, given that Ms. Doe was not even pregnant yet. I also agree with the court's final verdict, holding that Texas' criminal abortion laws were unconstitutional. This affair constituted a major turning point in the United States. This removed the state's right to make decisions about abortion during the first trimester. This law helps ensure the protection of privacy and security of individuals. By legalizing abortion, the United States Supreme Court reduced the number of unsafe abortions performed by uncertified doctors. PlannedParenthood.org reports that in 1965, 17 percent of all pregnancy-related deaths were caused by illegal abortions. Today, fewer than 0.3 women who undergo an abortion procedure during any phase of pregnancy require urgent hospital care. “And the risk of death associated with childbirth is approximately 14 times higher than that associated with abortion (Raymond & Grimes, 2012). » “Among women undergoing legal first trimester abortion procedures, the percentage of serious complications drops to 0.05% (Weitz et al., 2013). » Whether abortion is legal or not, there are enough women who would still do it that it's worth moving forward and keeping them safe instead of pretending it won't happen. Not only does abortion make women safer, but it also gives them more opportunities to pursue their careers or further their education. Roe v Wade gave women independence over their reproductive lives (“ROE V. WADE: ITS HISTORY AND IMPACT”). It is not the role of government to get involved in this intimate part of a person's life.
