From 1972 to 1973, two Supreme Court cases impacted the livelihood and opportunities available for American women.
Across the nation, pro-life and pro-choice protestors took to the streets voicing their opinion about the Supreme Court ruling and the consequences of overturning this case. The ramifications of overturning Roe v. Wade are already being felt in the state with healthcare providers having to change their operations completely. Whole Women’s Health, one of the largest abortion providers in the state, is closing all four locations and moving its offices to New Mexico due to Texas’ ban.
"It’s devastating that we have to do this, but our commitment continues to be strong in terms of being able to help our patients," said Ferrigno. Seven months prior to Roe v. Wade, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 was passed by President Richard M. Nixon. This legislation provided equal access to education for women for the first time in American history.
Title IX has continued to grow and provided women with opportunities to compete and work in professional sports that are usually male dominated. Even with Title’s IX impact on women’s athletic programs, the perception of Title IX has been narrowed to just cover sex-discrimination in athletics. However, the legislation has a broader impact addressing all forms of sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs.
