Best Answer

The US Supreme Court defended a woman's right to choose abortion when it overturned the State of Texas anti-abortion law, and all other state abortion laws that prohibited or restricted abortion during the first trimester.

The Court held that the law invaded a woman's right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause. While "privacy" is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, it is held to be an essential liberty under the doctrine of "substantive due process."
