Fifth Amendment because within it grants us the right to remain silent and Thompkins was doing just that(remaining silent) but the court held that from now on if you want that right to be protected, you must explicitly say, " I want to remain silent." or something along those lines.

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.

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.
