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 determined that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion under any circumstances.
It ruled that only states can decide on laws concerning abortion, not federal government.
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.
The case declared that Fourteenth amendment does not include any implicit rights like 'right to privacy'.
