Abstract
This Article addresses the historical developments leading to the Roe decision, reviews the cases that continue to challenge the Court's holding in Roe, and makes recommendations to protect women and minors as long as Roe remains in effect. Part II reflects the historical legal foundations that protected life and the shift in emphasis to a liberty interest that led to the Roe decision. Part III analyzes the factual and legal background of Roe v. Wade, and its companion case of Doe v. Bolton, reveals their basis in lies and deception, and exposes that the Supreme Court's underlying assumptions that are now proven to be incorrect. Part IV assesses how the states have protected women and minors within the constitutional boundaries of Roe and its progeny. Part V provides recommendations for greater protection of women and minors. Part VI concludes that Roe is no longer valid and should be overturned.
