The main constitutional issue in Roe v. Wade was whether a woman's right to have an abortion is protected under the Fourteenth Amendment's right to privacy. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled that a constitutional right to privacy does exist, and that it encompasses a woman's decision to have an abortion. However, the Court also acknowledged that states have an interest in protecting the potential life of the fetus, and therefore, state regulations on abortion are permissible as long as they do not place an undue burden on the woman.
