17 Aug In your essay, analyze how do you think the court’s ruling will impact politics in the United States and beyond?
The people of the United States were already very politically polarized when a recent Supreme Court decision (Roe v. Wade) ended nearly 50 years of abortion rights in the United States. In your essay, analyze how do you think the court’s ruling will impact politics in the United States and beyond? Be sure to use three themes from the course in your response (Feminism, human rights, social movements etc.)
You may want to consider the following: What makes this decision so important? How do you think this decision would change healthcare privacy? What would be the implications of this decision on other countries?
