Yesterday the U.S. Supreme court overturned our country's landmark ruling on the constitutionality of abortion. Of course that case is famously known as Roe v. Wade. That is, Jane Roe versus district attorney Henry Wade. Jane Roe was a pseudonym given to a woman named Norma McCorvey who sought an abortion in the state of Texas in the early 1970s. When she was unable to do so, she filed suit and the court ruled in her favor, setting into law one of the most divisive civil liberties in American history.
