The famous Roe v. Wade trial, which was supposed to settle the Abortion debate, was a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that was supposed to decide the issue of abortion. It was ruled in 1973, that the right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, extended to a woman’s decision to have an abortion, but that the right to privacy must be balanced between the woman’s and the state’s interests in regulating abortions: which is to protect prenatal life and protecting the woman’s health. Roe v. Wade reshaped the nation’s politics and divided the country into pro-choice and pro-life sides, while at the same time, it also created hostile states toward abortion clinics and creates the challenge of getting an abortion more difficult. Everyone has an opinion on abortion, whether or not they want to voice it. Some people think it’s immoral to kill a fetus, something that could potentially gestate into a living, human being. Some people think that it is entirely up to the woman. And others think that it’s none of their business. Ever since Roe v. Wade, many states have been trying to create a more difficult aversions to abortions in many ways. Some states tried to make it harder by payment, such as restricting certain insurance payments. Other states implemented laws saying that parental involvement is required for minors, or even permitted biased counseling to talk them out of the procedure (Gold 3). States that try to restrict abortions and relevant clinics are considered hostile states. This isn’t very shocking as all throughout history there had been disdain for abortion. It was seen as a sin and a crime for quite some time (Boston Women’s 3). It first became illegal in the 1800’s, unless it was to save a woman’s life. Not only that, male doctors over time even considered midwives a threat as they performed surgery for abortions regularly. Women who went to doctor that could pay for the coveted surgery for a ‘safe’ abortion often found themselves being insulted and looked down upon as well as treated horribly (Boston Women’s 8). When Roe v. Wade was passed, it gave a lot of power to the doctors and to the government, as well as sparking up an anti-abortion movement. When states try to curtail the operations of abortion clinics by all of these new restrictions such as: a waiting period with required counseling that must be face to face, which means more trips to the clinic,
