One of the main topics concerning abortion in this country was a Supreme Court Case known as Wade vs. Roe (1973). In this case. the Supreme Court ruled that all states that had outlawed abortion had gone against the constitution, making the no abortion laws unconstitutional. As of today, this ruling is still in affect, and still causing commotion. However, it stated that abortion was permissable up until the fetus was able to live outside the mother's womb, with or without medicinal help.**

Obama supprts the decision made in Wade vs. Roe, but he dissagrees with the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban" Act. **This was a decision made by the supreme court that stated: "Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both."** Here's a video of him speaking on abortion: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/01/25/sot.obama.abortion.cnn

If elected, Clintom would into the law "The Freedom of Choice Act", which would make the ruling from Wade vs. Roe a federal law. She also opposes the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban" Act. Here is a video in which she talks about a program that would educate teens about teen pregnancy and making the right decision. Wtch closely, because her ideas may be important. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/01/25/sot.clinton.abortion.cnn
