Roe v. Wade

 The court held that, in regard to abortions during the first trimester, the decision must be left to the judgement of the pregnant woman's doctor. In regard to second trimester pregnancies, states may promote their interest in the mother's health by regulating abortion procedures related to the health of the mother. Regarding the third trimester pregnancies, states may promote their interests in the potentiality of human life by regulating or even prohibiting abortion, except when necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother. 

 These decisions were made based on the stages of pregnancies, first second and third as well as protecting the life or health of the mother. It was decided that in the first and second trimester of abortion the decision would be left up to the doctor providing care wether the mother decides to opt for an abortion. However, in the third trimester states may argue their interest and even prevent abortion if is in favor of the mother's well being. That being said it is ultimately the right of the mother to her pregnancy against state action based on the 14th amendment. 

 I chose this passage because I think it is a fair act. I am not in favor of abortion. However, I support special cases in which women are victims and therefore are imposed to opt out for abortions. It is a right to choose wether or not you keep a child but if it is harmful to the mother or the baby the decision should be left up to the parents accordingly to the doctors best medical advise .
