vs. Wade. This was the trial that made it legal
for women to have an abortion. As a member of the
Catholic Church, we feel that abortion violates
the 5 th Commandment, That Shall Not Kill. But the

vs. Wade started at the end of 1972 and ended in
late January of the next year. The case had been

Forged in the fire of revolution and defined by
manifest destiny, America has always been the land
of the individual. Although the American dream has
not always been coherent, (married with 2. 5 kids,
