The US legal question is When does a fetus acquire the rights of a citizen? Roe v. Wade recognizes the birth of the fetus (when it becomes a baby). Roe also recognizes fetal viability as a marker.
How many before Roe?
Because abortion has always been legal in some states - CA and NY, for instance.
Roe V Wade took the right to deny away from the states. I think some day it will be reversed and states will go back to self determination.
That is not true. You need to go back & see what Roe v. Wade actually sets forth. The states are free to restrict abortion altogether in the third trimester of the pregnancy, except for the life of the pregnant woman (& even then, she may choose to go forward with the pregnancy).
Further, the states may begin to control access to elective abortion, if they choose to do so, upon the second trimester.
Simple instead of giving billions in benefits to criminal aliens...use it to help our own citizens...
I'm all for that. Let's start with free abortions.
