People on both sides of the abortion debate agree that every young woman should know what really went down in\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>. This year, the infamous decision will reach its 45th anniversary on January 22. So, what did\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em> really do? What effect has it had on women? See how many of these five facts you already know…<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em> was based on outdated science and medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone can agree that science matters. And science is not thoughts or opinions, but instead, it’s actually facts. In\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>, Harry Blackmun (the Supreme Court justice who authored the majority opinion), said that since medicine couldn’t say when human life began, the Court couldn’t say either:<\/p>\n

We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Today, 45 years later, medicine and science have a firm answer: from the earliest moment of a child’s existence — conception — he or she is a living, unique human being.<\/p>\n
