Roe v Wade Landmark Decision Involving Womens Rights Discussion

Roe v. Wade is a landmark decision involving women’s rights. So why is it discussed in a criminal law class? Roe v. Wade is also a landmark decision that has helped shape when life begins. As technology has improved, discussions on a women’s right to abort her unborn child have become more complicated. In Roe v. Wade, Justice Blackmun concluded that an unborn child was not a person.

Setting your personal opinion aside, argue for or against the legalization of abortion, for any reason, of an unborn child after 24 weeks gestation. Your argument should reference at least one actual statute from the Ohio Revised Code. Criminal statutes for the State of Ohio can be found at http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/ under Title 29. Hint: You should focus on either the murder statutes or manslaughter statues
