As we have discussed today, while there is momentum in past Supreme Court cases to uphold abortion rights, it is built on a weak foundation and the court has a more conservative lean to it. Record your prediction and at least one reason why you feel abortion rights will head in the direction you predict. Your answer should be at least five lines of writing.

Protests increased in the United States and President Johnson's advisers encouraged him to find a way out of Vietnam. Easier said than done.
When Richard Nixon took office as President in 1969, he began to work on fulfilling his campaign pledge to end the war. He began a process called "Vietnamization" and, in July of 1969, the first 25,000 U.S. troops came home from Vietnam. By the end of his first two years in office, Nixon had cut the amount of U.S. troops in Vietnam in half. In Nixon's 1972 campaign, he emphasized achieving "peace with honor" meaning that South Vietnam would remain independent from the North after the war was over. Negotiation began between both sides in 1972 but ran into numerous stumbling blocks. Attacks continued on both sides. Eventually in January of 1973, the Paris Peace Accords were signed ending the Vietnam War. The last American POWs were released in April of 1973. But in 1975, the fears of South Vietnam were realized: the North invaded and within three months they had encircled Saigon. the South Vietnamese capital. It wasn't until that point in April of 1975 that the last Americans finally left Vietnam. Let's check out their story. Your to-do list
