Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton are related but distinct Supreme Court cases. Roe v. Wade, decided in 1973, established a woman's legal right to have an abortion under the right to privacy, while Doe v. Bolton, also decided in 1973, clarified the definition of "health" in the context of abortion, allowing broader circumstances under which a woman could seek the procedure. Together, they shaped the legal landscape of abortion rights in the United States, but they address different aspects of abortion law.
