10 Minute Explainer: Roe v. Wade
Mary Ziegler, Stearns Weaver Miller Professor at Florida State University College of Law and author of Beyond Abortion: Roe v. Wade and the Battle for Privacy (Harvard University Press, 2018), explains the history of Roe v. Wade and the precedent it sets on the current abortion debate.
