Wade. These restrictions were left up to individual states. The Supreme Court found that a Texas law prohibiting abortion violated the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause stating that the government cannot take a person’s rights to life, liberty, and property. The 14th amendment was also said to protect the right to privacy against state action. This included a woman’s right to end her pregnancy. Roe v. Wade was a major court case that enraged many while making others happy and was only the beginning to many more court cases about abortion. (Alters) Doe v. Bolton, another high court case, went deeper into the ruling of Roe v. Wade and stated that states were not allowed to have requirements and laws that made it difficult for women to get an abortion. While the Supreme Court has upheld that states cannot create unconstitutional restrictions and requirements, it has found that some requirements are constitutional such as minors needing a parent’s consent unless a judge orders otherwise and has even ruled that a ban on partial-birth abortions is constitutional.
