Liberals got abortion legal. Not conservatives.
WA, my friend, this is incorrect. The Roe V. Wade decision was made by a majority consisting of five Republican Supreme Court Justices and two Democratic Supremem Court Justices. It was signed into law by a Republican President:
The Roe V. Wade decision was reached in 1972
Richard Nixon (R) was President.
Justices voting to affirm Roe V. Wade:
Blackmun appointed by Nixon (R)
Stewart appointed by Eisenhower (R)
Burger appointed by Nixon (R)
Douglas appointed by Roosevelt (D)
Marshall appointed by Johnson (D)
Powell appointed by Nixon (R)
Brennan appointed by Eisenhower (R)
Dissenting opinions were:
Rehnquist appointed by Nixon (R)
White appointed by Kennedy (D)
The decision was affirmed by five justices appointed by Republican Presidents and two justices appointed by Democratic Presidents.
Of the two justices that dissented, one was a Republican appointee and the other was a Democratic appointee.
The Roe V Wade decision made abortion legal under Mr. Nixon, a Republican President.
