Roe v. Wade was a landmark Supreme Court case in 1973 that established a woman's legal right to have an abortion, subject to certain restrictions by the states. The court ruled that the right to privacy extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion, but that states could regulate abortions after the first trimester of pregnancy. This decision has been highly controversial and remains a contentious issue in American politics today.
