Moreover......what seems to have happened is that the whole issue has evolved into a political bargaining chip.........instead of a woman's rights........fetal rights, etc...................we need to be wise and practical..................consider this in a larger picture...........and provide young people options......education, etc........

In disallowing many state and federal restrictions on abortion in the United States,^[5][6] Roe v. Wade prompted a national debate that continues today about issues including whether, and to what extent, abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role should be of religious and moral views in the political sphere. Roe v. Wade reshaped national politics, dividing much of the United States into pro-choice and pro-life camps, while activating grassroots movements on both sides.
