Wade was wrong, and should be upended by the judicial system. One judge, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said that said that the crucial right to privacy, which the 1973 case ruled against, was “utterly idiotic”. (Insert citation) However, the Roe vs. Wade court ruling made way for the legalization of a procedure that had high death rates prior to this time. The Guttmacher Institutes study showed that prior to this ruling, illegal abortion accounted for around 201 deaths a year. The mortality rates do call into question the morality behind the situation. If the case was overturned, and a woman was in need of an abortion, she would find a way, legal or not. Therefore, we would be forcing women to put their lives at risk again. The ruling is in place to save lives, not condemn
