             Roe Versus Wade (1973).
            
             Wade case that elevated from the Texas District Courts in December of 1971, again in October of 1972 and finally to the Supreme Court in 1973 was revolutionary for women's rights. The Supreme Court decision guaranteed the right for women to get an abortion during the first three months of her pregnancy, whereas the Texas law guaranteed an abortion only to save the pregnant woman's life.
             The final Supreme Court decision, supported by seven of the nine Justices, read that a state could not regulate abortions during the first trimester of a pregnancy, except that it had to be performed by a licensed doctor. During the second trimester, the state may prohibit a woman from getting an abortion, except to protect the woman's health. A third trimester abortion may by entirely prohibited by the state with the exception to save the woman's life. .
             In 1969, Roe (Norma McCorvey) was denied an abortion by Texas law, and she sued Henry Wade, the Dallas County District Attorney trying to prove her point that the law was unconstitutional. Although pregnant throughout some of the three trials, Norma McCorvey never once had an abortion performed. Today McCorvey tells a story of Weddington's misuse of her situation, leaving McCorvey as a mere puppet for all of the pro-choice advocates in the United States. .
