The most influential piece of law in relation to reproductive health and politics in the 20th century has been the Supreme Court’s decision to made abortion legal in all 50 states in all nine months of pregnancy. This decision outlines a woman’s right to privacy within her body and between her and her physician. The decision therefore is based on the right to privacy. Understanding the ruling behind the decision can help someone understand the possibility it may or may not be over turned and what would need to happen in order for that to happen. Although the brief is difficult to understand because of it’s legal jargon, the gist of the decision can still be understood.
