Jane Roe a unmarried pregnant women living in Texas challenged the courts on prohibiting abortions. She argued that under the 14th amendment a fetus is not considered a person and also her decision to have an abortion is protected by the right of privacy stated in the Bill of Rights.With her strong arguments the court voted 7 to 2 in Roe's favor. Although the court voted in favor of Roe's argument they still had two interests in hand.By getting an abortion the patient is still at risk of injury. Also with this law passing people are only considered living people once born.
