Answer 1

Answer:

B. Roe v. Wade.

Explanation:

The 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade involves a single mother and her choice to abort a child without the involvement of the law of a state. This landmark decision help advance the rights of women in asserting their rights over what they do with their bodies.

Norma McCorvey, under the pseudonym "Jane Roe", had appealed to the federal court about her desire to abort her third child. Since she resides in Texas, and abortion is illegal, she would be deemed a criminal. So, with that plea to the federal level, the local DA Henry Wade and "Roe" were battling her abortion case in the Supreme Court. And the ruling came out in her favor, asserting that what she does with her body is her decision and the law cannot make her act against her will.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
