According to the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe decision, most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision overturned all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with its holdings.

Abortions increased a a highly speeding rate.
Not only were they more accessable. they were also more acceptable. more women who would have not killed their babies did it because the society allowed it.
even though over 80% of the people are against in some way against Roe Vs Wade. It is still the law of this land.

Roe V Wade allowed women to have the right to choose to have legal abortions and spelled an end to back room coat hanger abortions.

Classic case of legislating from the judicial bench. It opened the floodgates, turning a previously illegal act into something protected by law. It only stands today because for over 30 years, Congress has been too cowardly to deal with the problem where it belongs: in the LEGISLATURE.

That case started the whole darn mess we are in today. Wade didn't defend it well. I think it was 2 novice female attorneys who won the case.
