Page 1 of 4 This week the Nation marked thirty-three years of the landmark decision Roe v. Wade, which gave American women the right to abortion. It also provided one of the most divisive issues in America's politics. Now, with changes to the Supreme Court, both sides in the abortion debate are expecting new developments affecting this legislation, and we thought it would be appropriate to present interviews with several people who have worked on the issue, from both sides, discussing the terms of the debate, the possibility of a common ground, the future of Roe v. Wade, and what the future would look like without Roe v. Wade. What's wrong with contraception? How come the anti-choice groups are many times the same who opposes contraceptive use? How come pro-life Republicans, like Maryland’s Governor Bob Erhlich have little trouble cutting access to prenatal care and to well care visits to immigrant pregnant women and children, respectively? Is it ethical to have the abortion in a vacuum? What are the real choices for women who don’t want to have an abortion, but don’t want or can’t keep the child? |
