DESCRIPTION:

January 22, 1973, saw the landmark decision by the United States Court on Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. This ruling made abortion legal in the United States and gave women the choice of having a child if pregnant or ending the pregnancy.

The ruling passed seven to two, upholding a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, extending it to a woman's decision to have an abortion. It was a tricky decision because it needed to balance the state's two legitimate interests—protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life. The court decided that a woman has a right to abort a pregnancy until fetal viability. Viability is defined as "potentially able to live outside of the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid."

Today this is translated to 23 or 24 weeks, with medical advances making headway to shorten that period even further.

Update: In June 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, forcing over half the women in the United States to live in states where the procedure is either banned or extremely limited.

American cities and states will not know the full ramifications of this regression in women's rights for several years. Over the next decade, if it remains struck down, expect universities in states with bans to see a reduction in students applying and attending. Employers in these states will have difficulty attracting young workers, thus forcing a decline in home values and, therefore, the tax base. Reduced taxes impact other public services as younger workers seek states that protect their rights and place the value of a woman's life before the unborn. Those of childbearing age, particularly the educated and those with means, will choose to live where they can control their lives over locations where they cannot.
