Famous Trials - Roe v. Wade

by Deborah S. Romaine

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution protected a woman's right to seek an abortion. In a nation divided by religious and ethical philosophies, this verdict has fostered continuing debate over whether a woman's right outweighs the rights of the unborn child.

I am so behind on goodreads. I finished reading this 5 months ago, but I guess it was a good book. It is outdated, but it describes the opening events of Roe V Wade using terms that the reader could understand. It goes into detail about every single factor of the case, including the attorneys, reasons, and things that were not present in the case. It also goes into the logistics behind the arguments as well as the accuracy of them. Overall this book is about a 7/10 at best. It goes into detail as I said, but that gets pretty boring and should take up less pages.

Definitely consider myself pro-choice, though this seemed a bit biased. Perhaps those opposed to abortion really did make that big of a fool of themselves though.
