5.Roe v. Wade 罗伊诉韦德案

The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump. It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.

这一决定在几年前还是不可想象的，但却在堕胎反对者数十年的努力下达到了顶峰。前总统唐纳德·特朗普任命的三名大法官加强了最高法院右翼的信心，才使这一决定成为可能。 民意调查显示，这一裁决让美国最高法院与大多数美国人支持保留罗伊案件判决的意见相左。
