Question

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled a woman had the right to an abortion based on which Amendment?

Answer 1

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled a woman had the right to an abortion based on the Fourteenth Amendment. This is often tied to the landmark case titled as Roe v. Wade, where it is stated that it is a woman's decision whether she has an abortion or not, but that it must be balanced against the state's interest: protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life.
