The Americans lost their federal right to suspend. Countries like Slovakia will also be inspired, says the Americanist
Sarah Weddington was a relatively unknown lawyer from Texas. Before the Supreme Court set up with minimal experience, however, her first case in decades changed the lives of millions of people in the United States.
It was the fall of 1972, and Weddington represented a woman with the fictitious name of Jane Roe, who was not allowed to undergo an abortion by Dallas attorney Henry Wade of Dallas. She sued him, claiming that the right to abortion is guaranteed by the constitution.
A few months later, the Supreme Court unequivocally upheld it mostly. This case became known as Roe v. Wade and Weddington for the rest of their lives considered for the greatest success of his professional career.
She died last December and did not live to see the end. The Supreme Court overturned the groundbreaking verdict today, costing millions of Americans the right to suspend overnight.
What exactly happened and what will happen next?
Poor women will be most affected
Surveys all of themthat up to two – thirds of Americans are opposed to the abolition of the Roe v. verdict. Wade, but the Supreme Court has the decisive say. The liberals are in the minority, as President Donald Trump nominated three conservative judges.
The Americanist Jan Beneš from the University of Ostrava says that today’s verdict is “a huge success for the American Christian right, which will also inspire a country like Poland or Slovakia.”
