Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. It struck down many U.S. federal and state abortion laws, and prompted an ongoing national debate in the United States about whether and to what extent abortion should be legal, who should decide the legality of abortion, what methods the Supreme Court should use in constitutional adjudication, and what the role of religious and moral views in the political sphere should be.
Roe v. Wade reshaped American politics, dividing much of the United States into abortion rights and anti-abortion movements, while activating grassroots movements on both sides. The decision involved the case of Norma McCorvey—known in her lawsuit under the pseudonym “Jane Roe”—who in 1969 became pregnant with her third child. McCorvey wanted an abortion, but she lived in Texas, where abortion was illegal except when necessary to save the mother’s life. She was referred to lawyers Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee, who filed a lawsuit on her behalf in U.S. federal court against her local district attorney, Henry Wade, alleging that Texas’s abortion laws were unconstitutional.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas heard the case and ruled in her favor. Texas then appealed this ruling directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear the case. In January 1973, the Supreme Court issued a 7–2 decision ruling that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides a “right to privacy” that protects a pregnant woman’s right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. But it also ruled that this right is not absolute, and must be balanced against the government’s interests in protecting women’s health and protecting prenatal life.
THEREBY, IS Anyone else sick of everyone being offended by everything? Especially when they are offended on behalf of someone else when that someone else is not offended…or in some cases more offended…
like they were lamely waiting to righteously tell someone, anyone off,
but they have to wait for any contrived situation to do it.
Do we all have to walk around on eggshells nowadays? How is this helping?
I AM currently listening to a documentary about the history of the past decade and it is just depressing how much Britain and Canada have destroyed/removed from their histories… We’re all different, nuanced and have weird outlooks, can’t we just agree to disagree? Ask yourself whether you really want to be the person who is offended by the offended. 1000% sick of it!
How dare you???!!! <sniff>
Reported and blocked!!!! * walks off in a huff
People need to learn to laugh more.
Everyone seems sooo sensitive and touchy, and I become afraid to say anything for fear of being jumped on. It’s crazy. I’m SO offended by other people being offended! People who get offended by everything offends the fuck out of me… WHEN YOU CAN’T SPEAK THE TRUTH ANY LONGER.
It’s all the GMO’s they consume. How do GMOs affect your body – Totally had a gut full of it. Sick of worrying about what you write/say in case it offends some bloody snowflake.
Why can’t people be offended and who are we to judge what offends someone else? Here’s an idea…why not put it on the offenders? Don’t be such a dick and be conscious of others and their feelings.
That doesn’t seem so awful. Being offended is the start of a conversation, not the end. If someone is bothered, it’s worthwhile to ask who, and why. But this idea of “I don’t like that idea, so you have to stop saying it.” can just fuck right off.
No one has any balls any more. Yes, especially THE cancel culture. It’s just childish –
Such people need to grow the fuck up! Life is too damn short to go around and be offended by everything!
That’s not living, it’s existing!

“The small counties are mostly found in landlocked areas in the Great Plains, mountains and deserts. It’s not uncommon for these counties to even be losing population over time.” There is also a difference in racial and ethnic diversity. For example, 79 percent of Asians, 71 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks live in big counties. Small-county America is nearly three-quarters non-Hispanic white, whereas this group makes up less than half of big-county America.
The differences between the two geographies also extend to age. The median age in small-county America is 39.1 compared to 36.9 for big-county America, and 54 percent of people age 65 or older live in small-county America. There is also a notable difference in the rate of growth. “Big-county America is growing nearly twice as fast as small-county America,” Sink said. “They’re not only getting bigger but increasingly more diverse.” Thus, if current trends continue, it’s likely that the divide between big and small will continue to become more pronounced in the future.
Counties in the US refer to regions within a state with their distinct boundaries and some form of official authority. States such as Alaska and Louisiana have county equivalents that have the same level of power as counties. Counties in the US number 3,007 while county equivalents number 135 all totaling to 3,142. The state of Delaware has the least number of counties at three while Texas has 254. Counties have existed in the US since its earliest days with Virginia being the first state to establish counties. The counties were founded to reduce the administrative workload for the state administration.

In a rising number of U.S. counties, Hispanic and black Americans are the majority. BY KATHERINE SCHAEFFER
Non-Hispanic white Americans account for 60% of the U.S. population, but in a growing number of counties, a majority of residents are Hispanic or black, reflecting the nation’s changing demographics and shifting migration patterns.
In 2018, there were 151 U.S. counties where Hispanics, blacks or two much smaller racial and ethnic groups – American Indians and Alaska Natives – made up a majority of the population, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. That was an increase from 110 such counties in 2000. The 41 counties that joined the list between 2000 and 2018 are all majority Hispanic or majority black. (For a full list of these counties,
see the sortable table at the end of the post.)
Overall, 69 counties were majority Hispanic in 2018, 72 were majority
black and 10 were majority American Indian or Alaska Native.
The majority American Indian or Alaska Native counties are unique in that most have experienced overall population declines since 2000, even as the share of American Indian or Alaska Native residents in these counties remained fairly flat. Counties in OHIO – Bing
There were no U.S. counties where Asians accounted for more than half of the population, but in Honolulu County, Hawaii, the population was 42% Asian and 9% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.
The South and Southwest of the United States hold most of the counties where Hispanic, black or indigenous people make up a majority of residents. These counties represent just 5% of the 3,142 counties in the U.S. and about half of the country’s 293 majority nonwhite counties (a figure that includes counties where multiple racial and ethnic groups combine to account for a majority).
About this analysis!!!
Rapid growth in majority Hispanic counties…
The number of majority Hispanic counties doubled between 2000 and 2018, from 34 to 69 – mostly in the South and West. In all but four of these 69 counties, the Hispanic share of the population grew during that period.
The few counties that experienced declines saw only slight decreases, and no county that was majority Hispanic in 2000 fell below 50% Hispanic by 2018.
Since 2000, the number of majority Hispanic counties in the U.S. has doubled.
These trends are in line with the growth of the U.S. Hispanic population as a whole, which reached a new high in 2018 even as its rate of growth slowed.
The Latino population grew at a faster rate than most other racial or ethnic groups during the 2000s, due to relatively high birth rates among Hispanic women and immigration from Latin America.
Related: See Pew Research Center’s U.S. population projections through 2065, which provides a look at immigration’s impact on population growth and on racial and ethnic change.
In 2018, Texas was home to the 10 counties in the U.S. with the largest shares of Hispanic residents. Starr County, home to about 65,000 people overall, had the largest concentration of Hispanic residents, at 96% of the population. Other counties where Hispanics accounted for an especially large share of residents included Webb (95%), Hidalgo (92%) and Cameron counties (90%) – all in Texas.
Since 2000, number of majority Hispanic counties in the U.S. has doubled.
The Hispanic populations of some larger U.S. counties also grew between 2000 and 2018. San Bernardino County, California (population 2.2 million) was the most populous county to become majority Hispanic during this span. Osceola County, Florida (home to about 370,000) saw the largest percentage point increase in Hispanic residents during this time (26 points, rising from 29% to 55%).
The migrating U.S. black population..
While the black share of the total U.S. population has not changed substantially over the last two decades, the number of majority black counties in the U.S. grew from 65 to 72 between 2000 and 2018. One contributing factor may be migration of black Americans from the North to the South and from cities into suburbs.
Majority black U.S. counties are primarily in the South.
There are now 15 majority black counties that were not majority black in 2000. Among them, Rockdale County, Georgia, located about half an hour outside Atlanta, had the largest percentage point increase in the share of black residents (from 18% in 2000 to 55% in 2018). With about 930,000 residents, Shelby County, Tennessee, which contains Memphis, was the county with the largest population to become majority black.
The 10 counties with the highest shares of black residents in 2018 were in Mississippi (seven counties) Alabama (two) and Virginia (one). In these 10 counties, about 70% or more residents were black.
Meanwhile, eight counties that were majority black in 2000 are no longer. Three of these are large U.S. cities that the Census Bureau includes in its county estimates: Washington, D.C.; Richmond, Virginia; and St. Louis, Missouri.
Washington (home to roughly 702,000 residents in 2018) saw a 19% increase in total population during that period, while its black population decreased by 9%. The city’s share of black residents declined by 15 percentage points, from 60% to 45%.
Majority American Indian or Alaska Native counties.
In 2018, there were eight U.S. counties where more than half of the population was American Indian; two other counties were majority Alaska Native.
In 10 U.S. counties, indigenous people make up more than half of residents.
While majority Hispanic and black counties are growing in number, these predominantly American Indian or Alaska Native counties have experienced net population loss from 2000 to 2018. And one county that was majority American Indian or Alaska Native in 2000 is no longer: San Juan County, Utah, where the share of American Indian residents fell 8% points,
from 55% to 47%.
All 10 majority American Indian counties are located on or near reservation land in the Midwest and the West, and most have populations of fewer than 20,000 people.
The exceptions are McKinley County, New Mexico, and Apache County, Arizona, both of which are home to about 72,000 people.
The two counties where the majority of residents were Alaska Native are both in rural Alaska: Bethel Census Area (population of roughly 18,000) and Nome Census Area (population of about 10,000). Source: Rising number of U.S. counties are majority Hispanic or black | Pew Research Center
