Roe v Wade is one of the most important Supreme Court decision regardless with abortion law and making abortion legal in the United States during the earlier months of pregnancy. Before this case, abortion was illegal in all the United States during the first and second trimester of pregnancy. After this case, it became legal also during the second trimester if it was to protect the health of woman. The court decision was made primary on the Ninth Amendment, which “ Protected a person’s right to privacy.” This amendment explains the personal liberty and the restrictions upon the state. It used to determinate if a woman has or not the right to stop her pregnancy. In Addition, this case addressed points like giving the life to an unwanted child with an unstable family and all the stress during the pregnancy, which will affect the life of the child. The child will mostly born with problems or disability because of her mother instability. Roe was “a single pregnant woman which brought to the court her case of abortion to save her life.” I definitely agree with abortion during the first trimester. For me a mother has the right to decide whether or not she would like to have the baby. At the end she will be the one whom will have to take care of the child. Also, there are moments in which a woman is not ready to have a child and it could happen because of an accident or a rape. Therefore, a woman has the right to stop her pregnancy.
