The right to privacy in reproductive matters

Explicación

## Step 1Roe v. Wade is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court that was handed down on January 22, 1973. This decision was a result of a lawsuit filed by "Jane Roe" (a pseudonym for Norma McCorvey), against Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, where Roe resided. The lawsuit was about the constitutionality of Texas laws that banned abortion except to save the life of the mother.## Step 2The Supreme Court ruled that these laws were unconstitutional, effectively legalizing abortion across the United States. The decision was based on the right to privacy, which is implied by the Due Process Clause in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.## Step 3The right to privacy in reproductive matters is the issue that Roe v. Wade addressed. The decision did not address the rights of the LGBTQ community, the rights of Native American peoples, or Planned Parenthood.
