  Roe Versus Wade’s case of abortion in the US specifically in Texas has been the precedent since 1973. Jane Roe claimed she had all the rights to carry out an abortion but was not granted permission to because some laws were hindering her from terminating her pregnancy. Earlier on Friday 24 th, 2022, the US supreme court ruled over the case and totally illegalized abortion saying there are no rights in the constitution that support abortion.   Jane Roe’s case came about in 1969 when Roe got pregnant and wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She was however not allowed to terminate it. Abortion back then in Texas was illegal but could only be legal if it was for the purpose of saving the mother’s life.

They would arrange children in rows, and make them shout: - “I am a black monster” “And my IQ is low” “Yeah” All these words would be shouted in Chinese after training for a long time.
