    The Supreme Court heard arguments for Roe v. Wade in 1972 and ruled 7-2 in favor of Roe in January 1973, finding that the Constitution protects a woman's right to abortion under the Fourteenth Amendment.

    Roe v.

    Wade in the Supreme Court


    The Supreme Court heard the arguments of Roe v. Wade in 1972. The decision came shortly
    thereafter on January 22, 1973. In a 7-to-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Roe. The
    two dissenting votes came from Justices Byron White and William Rehnquist.
    The Court argued that the mother has the constitutional right to abortion without being subject to a
    criminal offense under the Fourteenth Amendment, more specifically, the due process clause,
    which provides privacy to Americans and their personal decisions. However, the Court argued that
    the right to abortion must be balanced with the life of the child and the health of the mother. The
    state had the right to intervene if an abortion would cause harm or death to the mother, or the child
    had developed past a certain time frame.
    The Supreme Court later altered the framework with which the state could intervene to protect the
    child. The Court argued that a woman's right to abortion is legal until the child reaches 'viability.' This
    meant that once it was deemed that a child could successfully live outside of the mother
