Roe v. Wade was a case that occurred in 1971 and was not decided on until 1973. This case began when Roe, a single pregnant woman, decided to challenge the Texas law of where it was illegal to have an abortion unless it was medically necessary. A married couple, who did not have children, who were the Does, argued for many factors. Overall, the Court determined that their points were not valid and the abortion status was vague. This was the choice because they determined that the law was not allowing them to have their 9th and 14th Amendment rights. In all, Roe won the Roe v. Wade case in 1973.
