22 Jan 1973 Jahr - Roe v. Wade

Beschreibung:

The Roe v. Wade was a supreme court decision in 1973 that made abortion legal for the first time in the United States. The ruling was one of the most polarizing events in American history for several reasons. The ruling was seen as a victory for liberals, who supported abortion as a basic human right and individual freedom. Conservatives opposed the ruling, especially for religious reasons. Christian conservatives believed it violated their religious beliefs and values and that it was an attack on traditional family values. The rhetoric that evolved from this ruling was also a major polarizing factor. For example, supporters of the ruling referred to themselves as "pro-choice", while those in opposition referred to themselves as "pro-life" This rhetoric created a gap between the two groups and further polarized them along with the liberals and conservatives who typically fell under the category in which their political ideals aligned with.
