Roe vs. Wade is the court decision which legalised abortion in the United States of America. This continues to annoy misogynists to this day and opposition to it remains a glorious example of Conservative hypocrisy. Many of those who campaign against the big state and for an America where tens of thousands die every year because of lax gun laws, want a state so powerful and intrusive in people's lives that the State can decide whether a woman should continue with a pregnancy - not the woman concerned.
