On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a womanâs right to make her own personal medical decisions â including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians. Now nearly 45 years later, Americans are still standing by this decision: 7 in 10 Americans believe Roe v. Wade should remain the law of the land.

On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a womanâs right to make her own personal medical decisions â including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians. Now nearly 45 years later, Americans are still standing by this decision: 7 in 10 Americans believe Roe v. Wade should remain the law of the land.
To celebrate 45 years, we will be hosting a free screening of the film Dirty Dancing. The screen-wright of the movie, Eleanor Bergstein, said that in 1987, 14 years after Roe v. Wade, many people were surprised that she was so passionate about depicting an illegal abortion. She made sure not to sugarcoat the scene, hoping that it would serve as a reminder to young women to not take their right to choose for granted â something that rings true now 31 years after the release of the film and as abortion rights are still under attack.
The screening will take place at The Charles Theatre in Baltimore on January 22nd at 7pm. You must register to attend.
