The debate in Roe v. Wade centered on a woman's right to choose to have an abortion versus the state's interest in regulating abortions for the sake of maternal health and potential life. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 1973 that the right to privacy, protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, extended to a woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy. This decision established a framework that balanced these interests, allowing states to impose regulations and restrictions on abortions after the first trimester. The ruling sparked ongoing national discourse about reproductive rights, morality, and legal precedents.
