Roe v. Wade was decided simultaneously with companion case Doe v. Boton, the Court ruled that a right to privacy under the due process clause in the 14th Amendment extends to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that right must be balanced against the state's two legitimate interests for regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting the woman's health. Saying that these state interests become stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the woman's current trimester of pregnancy.
Abortion became legal in all states in the first trimester and for health reasons. In NYC the mortality in women went down 45%.
Abortion became legal so less women died or became sterile in unsafe illegal abortions.
It was also the start for the pro-choice vs pro-life movement.
Abortion was defended as a Constitutional right and the ruling makes it extremely difficult to make abortion illegal.
it made abortion legal on demand in the US and gave women more rights to their own fertility. The year following the mortality rate ion women in NYC went down with 45%.
The effect is that now abortion is offically legal in the united states. That doesnt mean that it is okay or right
