Harry Blackmun #98 Roe v Wade

Board #143

Roe v Wade: In 1973 this case determined that unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional. There were 2 dissents in the case one was Kennedy nominee Byron White: the other was Reagan nomineeThe case William Rehnquist. THE CASE REMAINED remained law until 2022 term when it was overturned.

This case has always found controversy as board 120 expresses.

In spite of signs asking to gag the Supreme Court and a request to keep abortion legal this case strikes directly at woman’s rights and tosses in religion too.

The majority decision was written by Justice Harry Blackmun who is pictured in the enrobing room and autographs a chambers card dating it March 7, 1975.

The autographs of the two dissentors mentioned above ae also found on this board. White signs his on a postal cover postmarked 1986 while rehnquist signs an undated and unmailed postcard.
