he Court’s most controversial ruling was Roe v. Wade
(1973). In this 7–2 decision, the high court struck down many state laws
prohibiting abortions as a violation of a woman’s right to privacy. The decision to
allow women access to abortions became a primary target for the conservative
movement in the coming decades. Over time, opposition to abortion became
a virtual political requirement for Republican candidates to either overturn or
limit the Roe decision through legislation and conservative appointees to the
federal courts.
