DESCRIPTION:

January 22, 1973 saw the landmark decision by the United States Court on Roe v. Wade and on Doe v. Bolton. This ruling made abortion legal in the United States and provided women with the choice of having a child if pregnant or ending the pregnancy.

It was ruled 7-2 that a right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion. It was a tricky decision because it needed to balance between the state's two legitimate interests - protecting women's health and protecting the potentiality of human life. It was decided that a woman has a right to abort a pregnancy up until fetal viability. Viable is defined as "potentially able to live outside of the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid." Today this is translated to 23 or 24 weeks, with medical advances making headway to shorten that period even further.
