Roe v. Wade

While the sate does have the peoples safety and best interest in mind, the government must follow the rules of the constitution. In the case of abortions, the government does want to protect the unborn child, but also must look out for the best interest of the parent. In the case of Roe v. Wade, Jane Roe made the case to a Texas judge that a fetus was not a person  in the eyes of the law, and therefor she should have the right to an abortion, and that her decision to get an abortion  should be protected by the right of privacy.
