In Roe v. Wade, the legislative branch's role was limited, as the case primarily involved the judicial branch interpreting the Constitution. The Supreme Court ruled that a woman's right to choose to have an abortion fell under the right to privacy, which is implied by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. While Congress and state legislatures could enact laws regarding abortion, the Court's decision effectively set a federal standard that restricted how states could regulate the procedure. This ruling prompted ongoing debates and legislative efforts at both state and federal levels regarding abortion laws.
