Question 4

Which statement accurately describes a part of the holding in the Supreme Court case Roe v.

Accepted Answer

The holding in Roe v. Wade established that a woman's right to choose to have an abortion is protected under the Constitution as part of her right to privacy. This decision legalized abortion nationwide and set legal parameters for state restrictions on abortion. The Supreme Court held that during the first trimester of pregnancy, a woman has a constitutional right to choose to have an abortion without excessive government regulation.

Question 5

In the reproductive process set forth in Figure 19.1, the intervention between Step 1 and Step 2 is ____.&#10;A)contraception&#10;B)abstinence&#10;C)abortion&#10;D)education

Accepted Answer

Contraception is the most effective intervention that can occur between Step 1 (sexual intercourse) and Step 2 (fertilization). This can prevent unintended pregnancy and allow individuals to plan for their reproductive futures. Abstinence could also be a choice, but it would involve avoiding Step 1 altogether. Abortion is not an intervention that occurs between Step 1 and Step 2, but rather after fertilization has already occurred. Education may be important in promoting safe and responsible sexual behavior, but it does not directly prevent fertilization.

For nearly a century, the Comstock laws linked contraception with ____.&#10;A)obscenity&#10;B)falling birth rates&#10;C)routine medical care&#10;D)increased access to family planning for poor and uneducated women

Accepted Answer

The Comstock laws, which were in effect in the United States from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, linked contraception with obscenity. These laws made it illegal to distribute or even discuss contraception, and those who violated the laws could be fined or imprisoned. The laws were named after Anthony Comstock, a zealous anti-vice crusader who believed that birth control was immoral and a threat to public morality. The Comstock laws were eventually struck down by the Supreme Court in the 1960s, paving the way for the widespread use of contraception in the United States.

Question 8

What was the effect of the third wave of antiabortion legislation in the 1800s?&#10;A)It led to the passage of 40 state antiabortion laws, making pregnancy termination at any point in gestation a crime.&#10;B)It shifted the business of abortions from midwives to physicians.&#10;C)It provided for jail sentences for all abortions but was rarely enforced.&#10;D)It prohibited even therapeutic abortions necessary to save the life of the mother.
