Roe+v.+Wade+C-3

Roe v. Wade Correll - 3

Marina, Miracle, Shelly

The case Roe v. Wade is mainly about abortion. A Texas resident, Jane Roe, wanted to terminate her pregnancy by abortion. The texas law prohibited her want for abortion, only the need to have abortion to save the women's life. Jane Roe's attorney, Sarah Weddington, at first she couldn't find reasoning for the case to be in the supreme court, then she arrived again and found support to bring it to the supreme court because of the women's privacy to her own body, and her decision to do what she wants. Janes attorney stated "the Texas abortion law to be unconstitutional for two reasons. First, that the law was impermissibly vague; and, second, that it violated a woman's right to continue or terminate a pregnancy" They decided that Jane had privacy and she was protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
