"This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth
Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action,
as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth
Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to
encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” (Harry Blackmun)
The author’s opinion is that it should be a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy if she chooses too. The bias doesn’t affect the legitimacy of the source because it’s a fair article. The article provides new information, such as linking the Constitution to the current controversy. This information compares to others by the fact that it compared the Constitution with this situation and not many articles have done that so far.

“We live in a society today where these children can be wanted children. Even if you don't want to keep this child after you've had it, there's plenty of young couples out there, that want children."(Norma McCorvey)
The authors opinion about the topic was for abortion. Their bias impacts the story a little. Instead of giving both sides like the previous article they only had quotes, and stories of Jane Roe. They only showed the side for abortion. It didn’t provide me with any new information because it was just quotes and blurbs about the court hearing. It was a basic summary of the story. This information compared with other information by giving me what was said in the court room. It was very helpful but very biased at the same time.

“The Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate state laws prohibiting or restricting abortion lacks any basis in the text, logic, structure, or original understanding of the Constitution of the United States.”(Robert P. George)
The author’s opinion about abortion is that it’s against abortion laws being changed. Their bias doesn’t impact the legitimacy of the source at all because they state their opinion and they don’t bash the other side of the opinion. I learned exactly what the quote says, “restricting abortion lacks basis in text, logic, and structure, of the Constitution. This information compares to other sources by being very informative. Other articles are just very opinionated instead of informative.
4. Ginsburg, Justice. "POLITICO." POLITICO. Justice Thomson, 2013. Web. 21 Jan. 2014.
“That was my concern, that the court had given opponents of access to abortion a target to aim at relentlessly,” she told a crowd of students. “… My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum that was on the side of change.”(. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg )
The author’s opinion about this topic is against abortion. This article is a bit distracting when it comes to the bias. She kinda makes it seem that what happened was the end of the world. There was no new information in this article. I didn’t learn anything from this article because she only gave her opinion. This article doesn’t compare with other sources because she wasn’t a great source.

"Advised her to avoid pregnancy until such time as her condition has materially improved" (although a pregnancy at the present time would not present "a serious risk" to her life)”(James Halford)
The authors opinion on this topic would be on the side for abortion. It’s stating that the doctor encouraged the abortion because it would cause “serious risk” to her life. The bias of this source doesn’t impact the legitimacy of the source because it was well rounded. It was equal to both sides so it didn’t distract you from the point they’re trying to make. The new information it provides me with is that there was even a doctor involved with the court hearing. I didn’t know that a doctor spoke on her behalf. This information doesn’t compare to other sources because no other source.
6. Thomas, Clarence. "Clarence Thomas on Abortion." Clarence Thomas on Abortion. Clarence Thomas, 11 July 2013. Web. 21 Jan. 2014.
“As a kid we heard the hushed whispers about illegal abortions and individuals performing them in less than safe environments. If a woman is subjected to the agony of an environment like that, on a personal level, certainly, I am very, very pained by that. I think any of us would be. I would not want to see people subjected to torture of that nature. On the question that you asked me, as difficult as it is for me to anticipate or to want to see that kind of illegal activity.”(Clarence Thomas )
The author’s opinion on this topic is against abortion. Their bias does not impact the legitimacy of the source because it’s presented in kind of a personal way. Again this information was opinion based so I didn’t really get anything from it. This information compares to other sources by bringing real personal opinions in it.
7.Thomson, Judith. "Judith Jarvis Thomson: A Defense of Abortion." Judith Jarvis Thomson: A Defense of Abortion. Judith Thomson, 1996. Web. 21 Jan. 2014. “I propose, then, that we grant that the fetus is a person from the moment of conception. How does the argument go from here? Something like this, I take it. Every person has a right to life. So the fetus has a right to life. No doubt the mother has a right to decide what shall happen in and to her body; everyone would grant that. But surely a person's right to life is stronger and more stringent than the mother's right to decide what happens in and to her body, and so outweighs it. So the fetus may not be killed; an abortion may not be performed.”(Judith Jarvis Thomson)
The author’s opinion about this topic is that against abortion. Their bias doesn’t impact the legitimacy, because they are stating facts instead of what they think abortion is about. The new information that this source provided was facts about abortion that I had no clue about. This information compares to all other sources by giving a lot of facts and information.

“Well, they had a lot of the things they found in his possession. They had the map, you know, that marked the route of the parade. They had statements from the bus driver and the taxicab driver that hauled him somewhere.” (Henry Wade)
The author’s opinion on this topic is clearly on the side of being against abortion. Their bias impacts the legitimacy of the source a little bit. It is on the side that lost so it’s obvious that it’s on the side against abortion. This article presented a little bit of information. It showed that they had real evidence to back up the fact that Jane Roe was lying about being raped. This article compares to other articles by being more truthful, since it is from the actual person in the case.

“A woman’s decision to terminate a pregnancy was within the realm of personal liberty which the government may not enter.” ( Jeffrey Toobin )
This author’s opinion is pro abortion. Their bias does impact the legitimacy because it’s basically saying abortion is a woman’s decision that’s all. There is no new information that this source provided me with because it was all opinion based. This information was like all the other sources because almost all of them are opinion based.
