Scope: The topic of abortion
is on the forefront of contemporary issues once again.
Since the 1973 Supreme Court Landmark decision of Roe V
Wade to legalize abortion, women have been granted “the
right to choose” despite protests from religious groups
and others. Currently South Dakota as well as other
states, are presenting voters with referendums which
will pass laws banning nearly all abortions in the
state. (CQ Researcher 9/22/2006)
The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a
guideline for student research. It is not intended as a
comprehensive listing of all materials in the library on
this topic, but as a selective sampling of the many
types of materials available.
