Roe vs Wade

The landmark 1973 Supreme Court judgement making abortions legal in the US.

By a vote of 7-2 the court justices ruled that governments lacked the power to prohibit abortions. The court's judgement was based on the decision that a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy came under the freedom of personal choice in family matters as protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
