Prior to Roe v. Wade, abortion had been illegal throughout much of the country since the late 19th century. Roe v. Wade has proved controversial, and Americans remain divided in their support for a woman's right to choose an abortion. Since the 1973 ruling, many states have imposed restrictions on abortion rights.
