The Supreme Court.
The correct name is the Supreme Court of the United States, but most people refer to it as the US Supreme Court. Each state has its own Supreme Court, but the US Supreme Court is the end of the line.
Rutherford B. Hayes signed such a bill in March of 1879. The bill was called "An Act to Relieve Certain Legal Disabilities of Women," thus enabling women to practice in the federal court system. It was passed after the Supreme Court decided in 1876 to bar women from arguing cases before them.Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood became the first woman admitted to the US Supreme Court bar later that year.
The supreme court has indeed acted to restrict the political rights of the constitution. In 1875 a group of women from Missouri appealed to the supreme court to challenge the Missouri law that denied them the right to vote in a case called Minor v. Happersett. The Supreme court ruled against these women based on the statement in our constitution "All men are created equal." It was not until congress passed the 19th amendment in 1920 that women received full political rights.
The decision was that a women has the right to an abortion if her life is in jeopardy. Later, the Supreme Court would increase that too she can get an abortion any time before the middle of the second trimester.
