roe v wade

This year marks 40 years of Roe v. Wade. That’s 40 years of protecting every woman’s fundamental right to make her own personal medical decisions. But plenty of politicians are still fighting to take that right away.

We won’t let them get away with it. On this 40th anniversary, those of us who trust women, who value their health and rights, have something to tell them: Roe is here for good.

On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision, Roe v. Wade, recognizing the constitutional right to privacy and a woman's right to choose abortion.

Planned Parenthood continues to fight to make sure the right to choose a safe and legal abortion remains secure for women, regardless of where they live.
