Course Description
In this CLE Course, brought to you by CLE123,Inc. and Oyez.org, you will hear the both sessions of the oral argument before the Unites States Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade.
Facts of the case: Roe v. Wade is, of course, the seminal case on a woman's right to choose to have an abortion in the face of a state's opposition to such a procedure. Roe, a Texas resident, sought to terminate her pregnancy by abortion. Texas law prohibited abortions except to save the pregnant woman's life. After granting certiorari, the Court heard arguments twice. The first time, Roe's attorney, Sarah Weddington, could not locate the constitutional hook of her argument for Justice Potter Stewart. Her opponent, Jay Floyd, misfired from the start. Weddington sharpened her constitutional argument in the second round. Her new opponent, Robert Flowers, came under strong questioning from Justices Potter Stewart and Thurgood Marshall.
Question: Does the Constitution embrace a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy by abortion?
