36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade

Today is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion and gave women the right to choose. Authored by Justice Harry Blackmun, the decision was grounded in the right to privacy. Thank you, Justice Blackmun for recognizing that women cannot be full participants in society if we are unable to control our fertility.
