Roe v. Wade's Long And Brutal Legacy

Few issues have divided Americans more than abortion. Since the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade made abortion a national right, the pro-life movement has sought to repeal the decision. Now, with a court case involving a Mississippi law restricting abortion, the high court is poised to make the right to an abortion a state matter.
