Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113

https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/410/113/

IT'S ALWAYS BEING TALKED ABOUT AND DEBATED
BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT REALLY SAYS? 

" If you haven't read the actual opinion you should; it has a quite-full exposition on the history of abortion included in it.  It's an extraordinarily well documented piece of judicial reasoning, whether you agree with the conclusion (and its limitations; there was no blanket right to abortion contained in the opinion) or not.  But Roe, in the end, turns on whether you have an individual right to privacy, which the justices found.  Well, if you do and it vests in the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment, how come it hasn't been applied to anything else?"
