As an undergrad I read Bob Woodward's "The Brethren," including its behind-the-scenes report on how the Roe decision took shape. I remember being mad that it centered doctors' right to practice their trade without governmental interference, patients' rights secondary at best. https://t.co/dIFZSDAP6W
