N.p., 3 Dec Web. 30 Jan This is a short film composed of clips from feminist and pro-choice rallies, as well as a segment condemning images from prolife rallies. I used the images from pro-life rallies to show the pro-life perspective on abortion through pictures. Unfortunately, the video was too long to use for the pro-choice rally segment. "Abortion Counseling Laws." Map. Abortion Counseling Laws. N.p., n.d. Web. 4 Feb This map shows which states require a woman to go to counseling regarding her abortion. Some states who require counseling allow patients to complete this through the mail or by phone, while others require it to be done in person. I used this map to show different states' restrictions on abortion. Bankston, Holli. "...This is why I'm prolife. It's not a 'thing' it's a baby. It breathes & is a human." 20 Jan Tweet. I used this tweet, by Holli Bankston, to show a modern perspective on being pro-life. Blackmun, Harold Andrew, Justice. "Primary Documents: Roe v. Wade (1973)." University of Washington Department of History. Ed. Quintard Taylor, Jr. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Dec This is the decision of the Roe v. Wade trial, written by Justice Blackmun. I used this source for information on the members of the case and on the decision. This clearly shows what federal laws would be enacted as a result of the trial and how many states former laws would now be overruled.

Aimee Blosser tweeted why she is pro-life. This is used as an example of a modern argument for the pro-life side of Roe v. Wade. Dasteel, Johanna, and John Jalsevac. " Jane Roe of Roe v.

Web. 10 Dec This source is a video, and transcript of said video, released in 2012 by Randall Terry, a pro-life politician and former Democratic presidential candidate, regarding the issue of abortion and attacking Obama's pro-choice view. In this ad, Norma McCorvey, formerly Jane Roe in the Roe v. Wade trial, says she regrets ever participating in the case, was convinced by feminists to lie about being raped, and feels responsible for helping to legalize child killing. I used the audio from this video, as there were highly graphic and disturbing abortion images in it, to show how McCorvey changed her opinion after the trial. Elliott, Karen. "Court Overrules Texas Abortion Law." Dallas Morning News 23 Jan. 1973: n. pag.

3 have used against abortion clinics. I used this source to help show some of the negative effects of the Roe v. Wade trial. Fielding, Waldo L., M.D. "Repairing the Damage, Before Roe." New York Times 3 June 2008: n. pag. Web. 3 Dec This essay by Dr. Waldo L. Fielding, published in the New York Times in 2008, exemplifies the horrors medical professionals saw as a result of illegal, pre Roe v. Wade abortions. Dr. Fielding attended to many patients who either attempted an abortion on themselves, or who attempted to receive an abortion from an unlicensed abortionist while working as an emergency room doctor in the 1940's and 50's. I used this article shows the dangers of illegal abortions and how horrible conditions were for women who wanted to receive an abortion but could not have it done safely, for legal, financial, or other reasons. Ginty, Molly M. "Life Before Roe v. Wade." Choice! Magazine 19 Jan. 2006: n. pag.

Wade decision. One woman, Mildred Hanson, shared her story of her mom trying to help save a woman who had received an illegal abortion.

He makes it clear that his view on abortion is not a result of, or influenced by, religion. Kunkle believes the fetus is a human-being from the moment it is conceived, and therefore abortion is murdering a human-being. I used this source to show another argument for being pro-life.

5 "Percent of People Self-Identified as Liberal." Chart. Daily Kos. CartoonDiablo, n.d. Web. 22 Jan I used this chart, titled "Percent of People Self-Identified as Liberal", to show that around the time of Roe v. Wade, there was a large group of people in the United States who labeled themselves as being liberal. As liberals often demand more rights and freedoms, this made more people in support of giving women more rights over their body, and therefore more people supporting Roe in Roe v. Wade. Pro-Choice Activists. The Guardian News.

Wade Jan. 23, CBS News. N.p., 20 Jan Web. 10 Dec This source is a segment of the CBS news from January 22nd, 1973 regarding the Roe v. Wade decision.

This was very useful as it gave me an unbiased, factual account of the decision, a pro-choice reaction to the decision, and a pro-life reaction to the decision.

Schweikert's mother contemplated abortion, but decided instead to put her child up for adoption.

7 men and women s opinions on the importance and impact of the Roe v. Wade decision. Each person discusses how the decision is significant to themselves as individuals.
