Roe+v.+Wade+(1973)

Roe, a pregnant woman, challenged the Texas abortion laws because she wanted an abortion. Other plaintiffs was Hallford, a doctor who was being prosecuted for violating the abortion laws, and the Does, a married couple who had no kids, they thought that the laws were unconstitutional. The defendant was District Attorney Wade. Roe's case and Hallford's case were ruled together and the Does' case was not justifiable and Roe and Hallford won their lawsuit trail. This case is related to the Ninth and Fourteenth amendments. The Ninth amendment says that certain rights can not be taken or restricted and abortion is a right because it deals with your body. The Fourteenth amendment says that you can't invade privacy and abortion is a personal matter and private. The court said that the Texas abortion laws were too vague and for over going the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendment.
