In January of 1973 the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions overturned every abortion regulation in every state of the United States. There have been many demonstrations and lots of emotions, but what were the specifics of these decisions? Every state had passed their laws as a result of Dr. Horatio Storer's efforts.

Commissioner Johnston reads detailed citations from both the Roe and Doe decisions, and interviews Carol Tobias, President of National Right to Life Committee.
