Now Playing As: Captioned (English) (change)

The video, "BRI's Homework Help: Roe v. Wade," provides an educational overview of the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision. The central topic is the right to privacy and its application to a woman's decision to have an abortion. Based on the arguments put forth in Griswold v. Connecticut, the video's narrative details how attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington challenged Texas laws, arguing that they violated the constitutional right to privacy. The video highlights the contrasting views between Jane Roe's representation and the opposing attorney, Jay Floyd, who claimed that the state should defend its abortion laws, emphasizing the 14th Amendment. Justice Blackmun's majority opinion for the Supreme Court affirmed a woman's autonomy over first-trimester pregnancy decisions. This video can be a valuable resource for school-aged children to understand constitutional rights and the judicial system's role in shaping societal norms.
