Content: In the US childbirth carries a risk of death about 14 times higher than abortion. The Democratic Party 's platform endorses the abortion-rights position, stating that abortion should be "safe and legal". Not all Democrats agree with the platform, however, and there is a small anti-abortion faction within the party, expressed in such groups as Democrats for Life of America. Similarly, there is a small abortion-rights faction within the Republican Party. The Libertarian Party platform holds "that government should be kept out of the matter" of abortion. Roe vs. Wade
Roe vs. Wade was an essential court case in the U.S abortion rights movement. The case was first tried in June of 1970 by a Texas district court. The court ruled that Texas’ law for abortions was unconstitutional and was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. This particular law made it a crime to have an abortion unless the mother’s life would be in danger if she had the child. This issue was brought to the U.S Supreme Court when a woman in Texas by the name of Norma McCorvey wanted to get an abortion.
