Changes

The court decisions for Dred vs. Scott and Roe vs. Wade are very similar. Both denied the rights of certain individuals based on the fact that they were and are not considered "people."   

The court decisions for Dred vs. Scott and Roe vs. Wade are very similar. Both denied the rights of certain individuals based on the fact that they were and are not considered "people."   

Dred vs. Scott stated that slaves had no rights, could not sue in court, and were not considered real citizens while Roe vs. Wade stated that the unborn child is not a person. The slaves were not given any rights and were not considered citizens and unborn children are not given any rights or considered citizens of this country. Although the slaves had the same endowed rights (given to them by their Creator) as white people had, this was something not recognized by the Southerners. In the same way, the Fourteenth Amendment, which ensures and guarantees the unborn child the right to life, is not recognized by many today. The slaves were looked upon as inferior just as the unborn children are inferior to those who wish to see them aborted. Both the African Americans and the unborn babies have suffered because of these major court decisions.
