Roe v. Wade Summary
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of an unwed pregnant woman who sought and was denied an abortion. The Court decided that a Texas statute, which prohibited abortions except in cases in which the life of the mother was at stake, was unconstitutional as a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That is, the Court held that the Texas statute, without due process of law, deprived women of the right to choose to terminate their pregnancies. Key Players in Roe v. Wade
