The Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade in 1973 (not 1972, but it's the landmark case typically referenced in this context) ruled that the right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state's interests in regulating abortions. The decision effectively made abortion legal nationwide and established that the decision to seek an abortion within the first trimester was indeed a matter of privacy for pregnant women.
