Re write but longer: The modern legal argument for abortion is largely based on the landmark case of Roe v. Wade. This case challenged the constitutionality of the Texas criminal abortion law, which made abortion illegal unless it was to save the mother's life. The case was brought by a pregnant woman named Roe and a childless couple known as the Does. The decision, reached on January 22, 1973, legalized abortion throughout the United States.

However, according to the textbook and the Bible, abortion is considered wrong. Principle 4 in the textbook states that the specific rights listed in the declaration are Biblically based, including the commandment "thou shalt not kill". Therefore, abortion is frowned upon because it is seen as killing, which the Bible prohibits.
