  • Summary of Roe V. Wade and Other Key Abortion Cases
    Summary of Roe v. Wade and Other Key Abortion Cases Roe v. Wade 410 U.S. 113 (1973) The central court decision that created current abortion law in the U.S. is Roe v. Wade. In this 1973 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that women had a constitutional right to abortion, and that this right was based on an implied right to personal privacy emanating from the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments. In Roe v. Wade the Court said that a fetus is not a person but "potential life," and thus does not have constitutional rights of its own. The Court also set up a framework in which the woman's right to abortion and the state's right to protect potential life shift: during the first trimester of pregnancy, a woman's privacy right is strongest and the state may not regulate abortion for any reason; during the second trimester, the state may regulate abortion only to protect the health of the woman; during the third trimester, the state may regulate or prohibit abortion to promote its interest in the potential life of the fetus, except where abortion is necessary to preserve the woman's life or health. Doe v. Bolton 410 U.S. 179 (1973) Roe v. Wade was modified by another case decided the same day: Doe v. Bolton. In Doe v. Bolton the Court ruled that a woman's right to an abortion could not be limited by the state if abortion was sought for reasons of maternal health. The Court defined health as "all factors – physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age – relevant to the well-being of the patient." This health exception expanded the right to abortion for any reason through all three trimesters of pregnancy.

In order to access this space, I completed four months of participant observation in the fall of 2017 as a clinic escort at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Poughkeepsie, New York. I thus was able to witness (and participate in) firsthand the interactions between the clinic escorts and the anti-abortion protestors who picketed outside of the clinic each week.

THE LAW OF THE SACRED COW: SACRIFICING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO DEFEND ABORTION ON DEMAND CHARLES LuGosI* I. INTRODUCTION Judge Frank Easterbrook reminded the legal community that focus- ing on a single strand of law was "doomed to be shallow" and would "miss [the] unifying principles" that bring integrity and consistency to legal doctrine.' His metaphor was the "Law of the Horse," and his con- cern was about the development of a law unique to cyberspace.2 In this essay, I have identified a different kind of animal that has escaped its enclosure and has run amok in the field of constitutional law, depositing its manure all over First Amendment jurisprudence, leaving it a mess. What I am referring to is the "sacred cow" of abortion.' Roe v. Wade4 and its progeny5 has had in the field of constitutional law the same kind of effect as yeast working its way through a batch of dough.

    Square The Art of Walking Walking is a great way to keep your body at a healthy weight! Obesity and chronic disease has risen in the United States. We may be raising the first generation of children to live a shorter live span than their parents, in part due to obesity and obesity-related conditions. CapitOL Physical activity is important for good health. Physical activity can prevent or reduce obesity, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and some cancers. The US Surgeon General recommends 60 minutes of physical activity for children and 30 minutes for adults each day. The Columbus Art Walks Map is a unique way to get active while seeing great art, architecture and historical sites around Columbus. Walk Safe • Pedestrians (people walking) should walk on sidewalks or walk facing traffic. • Pedestrians should cross the street at traffic signals, crosswalks or at an intersection. • At an intersection with a pedestrian signal, cross the street when the signal shows “WALK” or a symbol of a walking person. Wait to walk if the sign shows or is flashing “DON’T WALK” or a symbol of an open hand. • You are less visible in the dark and when wearing dark clothing, so be extra careful! • The majority of the route is accessible and flat.
