AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.1
How did the decision in Roe v Wade (1973) interpret the right to privacy under Fourteenth Amendment's due process clause?
It held that a state law banning abortions except to save the life of the mother was unconstitutional and violated a woman's right to privacy.
It determined that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion under any circumstances.
The case declared that Fourteenth amendment does not include any implicit rights like 'right to privacy'.
It ruled that only states can decide on laws concerning abortion, not federal government.
