The encounter of Roe vs. Wade renewed a cultural divide in American history that has existed for over 150 years. There was a political, social, and religious polarization that existed between the North and South in the United States in the 1860’s, around the issue of slavery. The ruling of this court case in 1973 renewed a cultural divide in our nation and the two main political parties in our country to this day. Overturning Roe vs. Wade has become a centerpiece of the conservative movement in this country. This court case gave the women the right to chose an abortion and the platform of the Pro-life versus the Pro-choice movement. The United States began as a country of two societies.
