Why did the Supreme Court invoke "right to privacy" as the main tenet to legalize abortion in Roe V. Wade? What does Roe v. Wade reveal about the intersection between the history of the women's rights movement and the core idea that all Americans have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? The controversial Roe v. Wade decision has incited bitter debates and even violence over the past fifty years. One major reason why Roe v. Wade was and remains tendentious is because the decision required SCOTUS to determine when personhood begins, which has major legal, medical, moral, and philosophical ramifications. SCOTUS determined that viability begins at twenty- three weeks in the womb. Why did so many Americans disagree with this?
