Wade Judgment \u2013 Abortion Case<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2022-06-28T12:17:05+05:30\">28th June 2022<\/time><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">\n<summary class=\"wo-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: center;\">Read more<br><br><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">In 1973, in the landmark Roe vs. Wade judgment (sometimes referred to simply as \u201cRoe\u201d), the Supreme Court of the USA made the&nbsp;<strong>right to abortion a constitutional right<\/strong>, establishing a benchmark for&nbsp;<strong>abortion laws across the world<\/strong>. It held that abortion would be allowed for up to<strong>&nbsp;28 weeks (7 months).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">Twenty-eight weeks is considered the point of fetal viability,&nbsp;that is,&nbsp;<strong>the time after which a fetus can survive outside the womb.&nbsp;<\/strong>Fetal viability is often seen as the point at which the woman\u2019s rights can be separated from the rights of the unborn fetus. Experts now believe that medical improvements have lowered the threshold to 23 or 24 weeks (6 months or a little less)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">The overturning of the judgment would push the law on abortion rights to states, where each legislature will have the authority to decide whether to allow, regulate, or completely ban abortion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">It means that there would be several different laws across America for this. Conservative states might reinstate abortion restrictions that existed before the Supreme Court set the standard in 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\">For decades, the issue of abortion has divided conservatives and liberals in the United States. Until recently, a challenge to Roe v. Wade would have been difficult to succeed, but changes in the makeup of the Supreme Court with the nominations of conservative Justices during Donald Trump\u2019s administration have sparked a new wave of litigation on the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the Debate Regarding Abortion?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On the one hand, there are conservatives who argue that life begins at conception, and on the other side, you have Liberals who have maintained that this is about a woman\u2019s right to choose.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In many western countries, the sides involved in the debate are the self-described&nbsp;<strong>\u201cpro-choice\u201d and \u201cpro-life\u201d movements.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Pro-choice emphasizes the&nbsp;<strong>woman\u2019s choice<\/strong>&nbsp;of whether to terminate a pregnancy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On the contrary, the pro-life position argues that a fetus is a human person deserving of legal protection.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What has happened so far?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18.5px; text-align: justify;\"><li>It started with the Mississippi law on abortion.<\/li><li>In 2018, the Republican-majority legislature of the&nbsp;<strong>State of Mississippi banned most abortions after 15 weeks&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 much before fetal viability and sooner than was allowed by Roe \u2014 throwing a direct challenge to the<strong>&nbsp;1973 judgment.
