To my treasured son, a fathers blessing, Arthur Patrick Conley
The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. Benjamin Franklin
Defined as the medically induced termination of a pregnancy, abortion was legalized nationwide by the Supreme Court in the landmark Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. The justices who wrote the majority opinion contended that a womans right to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy was protected by an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Prior to Roe, states had legislated varying degrees of access to abortion services, and some banned abortion procedures altogether. One precedent for this right to privacy came a decade earlier in the case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), which established the rights of individuals to obtain and use birth control.
Since Roe, conflicts have centered on state restrictions on access to abortions and abortion procedures. In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services (1989) the Supreme Court found a Missouri law that precluded the use of state funds and facilities for abortions constitutional. Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) established that restrictions on access to abortions must not place an undue burden on women. In Stenberg v. Carhart a Nebraska law banning partial-birth (late-term) abortions was found to violate the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In Gonzales v. Carhart (2007), however, the Supreme Court upheld the Partial-Birth Abortion Act passed by Congress in 2003 and found that restrictions on the procedure did not constitute an undue burden as enunciated in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. See also .
ADAMS, JOHN (17351826)The first vice president and second president of the United States was born in Quincy, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. degree in 1755 and a law degree in 1758. Adamss opposition to British imperial rule in the American colonies commenced with his disapprobation of the Stamp Act of 1765. The instructions he drafted for the residents of Braintree (essentially a letter-writing campaign) to the Massachusetts legislature were replicated by the citizens of other towns in opposition to the tax. He published several articles in the
