What are a woman's rights when it comes to her body - in this case abortion. As controversial case as any - the Supreme court must decide if the 14th Amendment's Due Process clause extends to a woman's right to have an abortion. The decision favored Roe in this landmark case. With the ruling the controversy did not die. Some states continue to reexamine the decision and seek greater restrictions on abortion.
