When Roe v. Wade was passed in 1973, it was an earth-shattering decision that changed the course of American history. This ruling said the federal government has no grounds to stop or prosecute an abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (which upheld Roe v. Wade) threw out the trimester framework and instead said that the government can't disrupt a woman's opportunity to have an abortion up until the point of viability.
