Roe v. Wade
Jahmi Jacobs 4
Jane Roe, opted to get rid of her pregnancy by abortion in Texas where the law was prohibited except to save the pregnant woman's life. A certiorari was granted and the courts heard the arguments twice. The Court held that a woman's right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision gave a woman total autonomy over the pregnancy during the first trimester and defined different levels of state interest for the second and third trimesters. As a result, the laws of 46 states were affected by the Court's ruling.
