In some instances, the mother could even die from the

While homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, federal courts have not settled the issue of whether homeschooling should be considered a fundamental right. This means that in the future, an anti-homeschooling state legislature could take away the ability to homeschool.

Wade, the United States Supreme Court argued that the bans on abortion were unconstitutional for every state. That made it legalized throughout the United States, but why was it legalized?
