Remember that before ‘Roe v. Wade’ was decided, there were four states that allowed abortion in the first trimester if that’s what the woman sought: New York, Hawaii, California, Alaska. Other states were shifting. And people were fighting over this issue in state legislatures. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
After ‘Roe v. Wade’ – when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 – I thought the national conversation about abortion and birth control would be over. It was not. Karen DeCrow
When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don’t think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved. Jimmy Carter
In the more than four decades since Roe v. Wade, it has become clear that some will stop at nothing to obstruct women’s reproductive rights. Suzan DelBene
I promise to fight against any attempts to undermine Roe v. Wade in the Senate. Sara Gideon
The simple, stupefying truth that, as a woman, I am a minute ocean, in the dark tropic of whose womb eggs lay coded as roe, floating in the sea that wet-nursed us all, moved me deeply. Diane Ackerman
I think that Roe v. Wade will ultimately be overturned. I think it’ll fall of its own weight. It does not have any constitutional underpinnings. William Barr
Roe versus Wade is the settled law of the land. Mike Espy
If Roe and Casey must be overturned because they are hopelessly flawed, then all other cases that rely on their arguments asserting privacy and personal liberty are endangered. Jonathan Capehart
Our courts’ decisions do not permeate the public consciousness – we have no equivalent of the Brown v Board of Education ruling which outlawed racial segregation, or of Roe v Wade, which enshrined a woman’s right to choose not just into law but into the public imagination as well. Emily Thornberry
Here’s what I see: a complacency among the generation of young women whose entire lives have been lived after Roe v. Wade was decided. Debbie Wasserman Schultz
My feeling is that the judge has a responsibility to the Constitution first, precedent second. Precedent is one factor. It is not the only factor. If it was the only factor, then, you know, we wouldn’t have had Roe vs. Wade. We wouldn’t have had Griswold. We wouldn’t have had Lawrence. We wouldn’t have had all these cases which the Left love. Rick Santorum
I would have to thank my godmother, Dr. Alveda King for exposing the racism behind abortion and fighting hard to not only defund Planned Parenthood but to overturn Roe v. Wade which is responsible for ending nearly 20 million Black lives. Angela Stanton-King
After I did ‘Broadcast News’ and got an Academy Award nomination, the first thing I did was ‘Roe vs. Wade’ at NBC. Holly Hunter
Mitt Romney would move the Court even further right, putting landmark decisions like Roe v. Wade at risk. Some say Romney would repeat the past. I disagree – he’d be worse. Chuck Schumer
We will not rest until Roe v. Wade is overturned. Kay Ivey
A vast abortion industry, generating some half a billion dollars annually, sprang into existence in the wake of Roe and Doe. Robert Casey
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
On the issues that I care deeply about – the environment, Roe vs. Wade, the war in Iraq, with no weapons of mass destruction, the tax cuts that are now leading to deficits, I’ve got some deep issues with the president. Lincoln Chafee
I graduated high school in 1974 when Roe v. Wade had only just been passed. Ms. Magazine was only just starting, and women were really feeling empowered to pursue their dreams and their careers, and I was excited to enter a new field of technology. Jacky Rosen
It’s possible that the 2012 general-election race will be the least overtly religious one since 1972, the last campaign before Roe v. Wade and the rise of Jimmy Carter brought evangelicalism into the political mainstream. That’s because faith remains a complicated issue for Obama, who is still wrongly thought to be a Muslim in some quarters. Jon Meacham
As president, I will only nominate judges – including Supreme Court justices – who will commit to upholding Roe v. Wade as settled law and protect women’s reproductive rights. Kirsten Gillibrand
In 1973, the Roe v. Wade decision concluded that women have a constitutionally protected right to safe and legal abortions. That landmark decision wasn’t the beginning of women having abortions; it was the end of women dying from abortions. Jan Schakowsky
Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I was the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade, but Jane Roe has been laid to rest. Norma McCorvey
For thirty years, beginning with the invention of a privacy right in the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the Left has been waging a systematic assault on the constitutional foundation of the nation. David Horowitz
When you represent the state of Washington, we have a tradition of deciding social issues by vote. Washington State passed abortion rights before Roe v. Wade and affirmed it at the ballot box later. Michael Baumgartner
Americans are guaranteed the constitutional right to legal abortion in Roe v. Wade, and it’s past time for Republicans to stop using the issue as a political football. In fact, it’s past time for Republican politicians to stop interfering in women’s personal lives, period. Kirsten Gillibrand
Right before the Bush inauguration, many women were greatly reassured when Laura said of Roe v. Wade on the ‘Today’ show, ‘No, I don’t think it should be overturned.’ Three days later, her husband reimposed the ‘global gag rule’ on groups abroad that receive U.S. funding for family planning. Molly Ivins
I have a traditional Catholic personal position, but I am very strongly supportive that women should make these decisions and government shouldn’t intrude. I’m a strong supporter of Roe v. Wade and women being able to make these decisions. In government, we have enough things to worry about. Tim Kaine
If confirmed to the D.C. Circuit, I would follow Roe v. Wade faithfully and fully. That would be binding precedent of the court. It’s been decided by the Supreme Court. Brett Kavanaugh
I am Roe. Norma McCorvey
Walk into any Japanese fish market, and you’ll see neat rows of sea urchin roe sold in little wooden trays. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
I used the name Jane Roe because I didn’t want my personal name to be involved in it. Norma McCorvey
If Roe v. Wade were overturned tomorrow, nobody would even notice, because the states are legislating their own laws about abortion, completely independent. Wendy Long
By the time I was in high school, Roe v. Wade had passed, so that was also happening; girls were getting pregnant and getting abortions – and that happened in my school too. Annette Bening
On the matter – on the issue of life, it’s life. So I actually would pursue appointment, court appointments that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Evan McMullin
The U.S. Constitution guarantees women across this country, including my daughters, the right to choose for themselves when and how to start their families. Yet, more than forty years after Roe v. Wade, women’s reproductive rights remain in jeopardy. Mike Quigley
One effect of Roe was to mobilize a permanent constituency for criminalizing abortion – a constituency that has driven much of the southern realignment toward conservatism. Benjamin Wittes
For creamy sea urchin pasta recipes, the typical process is to saute garlic, shallots, and chilies in olive oil, then add the pasta and pour in a sauce made from raw sea urchin roe blended with softened butter or heavy cream. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
Prior to ROE V. WADE, abortions were common even though they were illegal. I don’t think making them illegal again is going to solve the problem. Tony Campolo
First off, I never favored a constitutional amendment to criminalize abortion or to overturn Roe v. Wade. Dennis Kucinich
They’re all focusing on how John Roberts is going to decide Roe v. Wade. That isn’t even the right question. I don’t even know of a case in the (court) system that addresses it. Jay Alan Sekulow
Indeed, an entire generation of Americans has grown to adulthood since the Roe decision of 1973, which held that the right to choose an abortion was a privacy right protected by our Constitution. Robert Casey
The Republican agenda is, and always has been, to repeal Roe v. Wade, and at the very least, erode it to the greatest extent possible. Madeleine M. Kunin
My view is that Roe v. Wade had no basis in law or fact. Josh Hawley
Over time, I think, and with further appointments to the Supreme Court, I think that the Roe v. Wade opinion will fall. William Barr
Roe v. Wade used raw judicial power to overturn the democratically passed laws in every state in the country and remove state restrictions on abortion. Mercedes Schlapp
Science has advanced a long way in the 44 years since Roe v. Wade, and it is time that our laws reflect the undeniable truth that life begins at fertilization and that unborn citizens are entitled to the same protections as every American. Luther Strange
Antiabortion activists and Republican lawmakers have been gearing up for a nationwide ban since before Roe was overturned. Jonathan Capehart
