Roe v. Wade
From AbortionWiki
Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is the highly controversial decision by the United States Supreme Court which granted women the legal right to terminate a pregnancy. In this decision, the court ruled unconstitutional a state law that banned abortions except to save the life of the mother, arguing that a woman's decision to end her pregnancy is protected by a broad right of privacy.
