This year’s 30th anniversary of Roe has begun to reenergize the movement. The time to act is now. Roe v. Wade has protected our right to privacy and freedom from government intrusion in personal decisions for 30 years. Reproductive health and childbearing choices are among the most personal decisions a woman can make. Yet today, we face a relentless, targeted attempt by anti-choice forces to deny women true equality. Legal abortion hangs by a slim margin of five to four in the Supreme Court. The probable retirement of two justices could allow an anti-choice president...
While most of us here at Harvard were celebrating the end of finals, women and men across the country were celebrating a different kind of victory. Jan. 22 marked the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Roe v. Wade, guaranteeing a woman’s right to choose in the United States.

In an undergraduate community of 3,200 women, I did expect to find at least one woman-centered article today, a milestone for feminist rights in this country...
...immigration, migration and subsequent economic assimilation without examining the relationships between blacks and other ethnic groups. The Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education is a landmark example of judicial activism, an activism that shaped the Court’s opinion in Roe v. Wade. A thorough understanding of urban and suburban housing patterns and education policy cannot be reached without considering the impact of race. Even American pop culture is influenced by Hip-Hop culture, which is in turn influenced by jazz, the blues and spirituals...
