	ROE v. WADE
		Jane Roe, 4 a single woman who was residing in Dallas County, Texas, instituted this federal action in March 1970 against the District Attorney of the county.
		The court held that Roe and members of her class, and Dr. Hallford, had standing to sue and presented justiciable controversies, but that the Does had failed to allege facts sufficient to state a present controversy and did not have standing.
		And he suggests that Roe's case must now be moot because she and all other members of her class are no longer subject to any 1970 pregnancy.

		The Roe effect, however, refers specifically to the nexus between the practice of abortion and the politics of abortion.
		In 1992 the Roe effect would have been minimal, since it was limited to a small segment of the electorate (18- and 19-year-olds), who tend not to vote.
		Thus, some women who delay childbearing contribute to the Roe effect on both ends: by having abortions when they are young, single, and pro-choice, and by bearing children when they are older, married, and pro-life.

		The court’s decision in Roe’s favor rested on two premises: a woman’s "right to privacy," and the belief that the beginning of life cannot be pinpointed.
		In the cacophony of voices arguing over "rights," the quiet consciences of those who stand for the sanctity of all life understand this is an assault on the most vulnerable—those who are too weak to defend their rights—as well as an exploitation of women.

	There's more at stake than Roe vs. Wade
		And they add that the likelihood of George W. Bush's Supreme Court appointees voting to overturn Roe vs. Wade is the only reason to vote for Vice President Al Gore.
		Even if Roe vs. Wade were to remain intact under a Bush administration -- and lots of people have convinced themselves that it would -- an anti-abortion president can take myriad steps to ensure that abortion will be virtually inaccessible to many American women, even if the procedure remains technically legal.
		Though Roe vs. Wade occurred in 1973, anti-abortion harassment and violence did not become a serious issue until the mid-1980s, when incidents of firebombings, threats, blockades and the stalking of providers escalated dramatically.

	Roe effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Roe effect is a theory about the long-term effect of abortion on the political balance of the United States, which suggests that since supporters of abortion rights cause the erosion of their own political base, the practice of abortion will eventually lead to the restriction or illegalization of abortion.
		See "The Roe Effect: The right to abortion has diminished the number of Democratic voters" by Taranto (Wall Street Journal, July 6, 2005) for a detailed explanation and statistical evidence that supports the theory.
		[2] He later suggested that the Roe effect helps explain (and is confirmed by) the fact that the fall in teen birthrates is "greatest in liberal states, where pregnant teenagers would be more likely to [have abortions] and thus less likely to carry their babies to term."[3]

		If Taranto's Roe effect exists, then there should be a significant difference between the change in liberalism in New Jersey than in Utah (with Utah showing a greater amount of increased liberalism over time than New York, since the Roe effect predicts more liberal children would be aborted in New York).
		He was not drawing inferences about how the Roe effect may have impacted each state (which didn't make sense).
		He was using the data to test one of the assumptions behind the Roe effect.

	Letting Go of Roe
		One effect of Roe was to mobilize a permanent constituency for criminalizing abortion—a constituency that has driven much of the southern realignment toward conservatism.
		In short, Roe puts liberals in the position of defending a lousy opinion that disenfranchised millions of conservatives on an issue about which they care deeply while freeing those conservatives from any obligation to articulate a responsible policy that might command majority support.
		In short, overturning Roe would lead to greater regional variability in the right to abortion, but this would be a worthwhile price for pro-choice voters to pay in exchange for greater democratic legitimacy for that right and, therefore, greater acceptance of and permanence for it.

	Ditch Roe to Save Roe? Two Abortion Advocates Debate Whether Roe is Bad for Their Movement
		He was equally troubled by the burden that defending Roe has placed on political liberals, but rather than inviting Roe to be overturned, for example, by withdrawing opposition to confirming anti-Roe judges, he advised that the abortion ruling be left alone while at the same time making it irrelevant.
		Levinson replied that keeping Roe around, even just as window dressing, would continue to polarize judicial confirmations and also would reinforce wrongly the idea that one side of the hotly debated abortion issue must be squelched.
		Roe never truly will be constitutional "law" because the "right" it produced came only from the imagination of unelected judges, and it never fully will be "settled" law as long as the pro-life movement refuses to give up.

		The Roe Effect theorizes that "pro-choice" women are more likely to have abortions than pro-life women, and that children tend to espouse the views of their parents.
		Larry Eastland, discussing the Roe Effect recently in The American Spectator, said the children who were aborted instead of born in any given year can be considered "Missing Voters" 18 years later, the year they would have reached voting age.
		But if the Roe Effect is true, then it's not a stretch to say that the "pro-choice" movement is quite literally killing itself.

		The traditional approach divides the company's net profit after taxes for the past 12 months by stockholders' equity (adjusted for stock splits).
		But this fails to account for the effect of borrowed funds, which can magnify the returns posted by even a poorly managed company.
		Using the previous example, if the company has total assets of $100,000, then $55,000 of the company's capital is supplied by creditors and its equity multiplier is 2.22.

		A liberal friend of mine read about Taranto's theory recently and shook his head, snickering at me and the Roe effect theory, as though the "whole idea" were so ridiculous that the explanation - statistics - didn't even warrant a look.

	WILLisms.com: Roe v. Wade turns 32.
		One still-emerging theory about abortions is what The Wall Street Journal calls "The Roe Effect." Essentially, according to this theory, America is producing more Republicans and less Democrats, more conservatives and less liberals, because while "Republicans have fewer abortions than their proportion of the population, Democrats have more than their proportion of the population.
		As The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto notes, the incoming Senate minority leader Harry Reid, himself a pro-life Mormon from Nevada, believes "it would be pretty difficult for everybody" if the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 ruling.
		Taranto argues, "it would be far more difficult for the Republicans, for the continued existence of Roe allows the GOP to have it both ways on abortion while forcing the Democrats to take politically untenable positions." Indeed, currently, Democrats are forced to defend taxpayer-funded abortions, abortions for kids, and partial-birth abortions.

	Summary
		Casey, 505 U.S. There is a widespread popular belief that such a decision would make abortion illegal throughout the United States, or that an overruling decision would return the country to the state of law that existed when Roe and Doe were decided on January 22, 1973.
		Only the Louisiana, Rhode Island and South Dakota laws would effectively prohibit most abortions upon the overruling of Roe and Doe; the legislative history of the Utah law suggests that abortions could be performed for reasons relating to the mental health of the pregnant woman.
		Based upon the experience of States (particularly California) before Roe, mental health exceptions are subject to abuse.
