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.

"If the court overrules Roe, it would probably be over a long period of time, over a series of judicial rulings that kind of hinted at what the court was about to do." @Mary_zieglerfsu says- The Brian Lehrer Show (@brianlehrer)

What does "privacy" mean in Roe? @Mary_zieglerfsu says it's this: "When something involves the most important matters in a person's life, the most intimate matters in a person's life, that the Constitution respects a person's autonomy in those decisions."- The Brian Lehrer Show (@brianlehrer)
