The main issue in "Roe V. Wade" is whether Articles 1191, 1192, 1193, 1194, and 1196 of the Texas Penal Code ( the Texas Abortion Laws) deprive married couples and single women of the right to choose whether to have children, a privacy issued protected by the 14th Amendment. Or, Does the Texas law which makes it a crime to perform an abortion unless it is "necessary" to save the life of the mother violate the Constitution?

Roe v. Wade was primarily centered around the issue of a woman's right to choose to have an abortion. The case originated in Texas, where "Jane Roe" challenged the state's restrictive abortion laws, arguing that they violated her constitutional right to privacy. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 1973 that the right to privacy, as implied by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, thereby legalizing abortion nationwide.
