On this day in history, Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court made its decision in the historic abortion regulation court case — Roe v. Wade. The 7-2 ruling stood for nearly 50 years.
An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus, according to Merriam-Webster. "Jane Roe" became an evangelical Christian and joined the anti-abortion movement. "A culture of life is the best thing for our culture and our families."

The court case began three years earlier with a "Jane Roe" — a woman later revealed to be Norma McCorvey.
