Abortion and U.S. Constitutional Law

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how, since the establishment of the case, challenges to the legitimacy of "Roe v. Wade" (1973) have occurred on a state level. Of these dilation and extraction abortion procedures, which are also referred to by the term partial birth abortions, have made significant headway in the courts to contest the terms under which "Roe v. Wade" provides protection to personal privacy in the context of abortions.

From the Paper:

"The assessment of federal control over the corporal state of the American person has long been contentious. Abortion is one of the forums through which this issue is frequently expressed, as all efforts to identify whether abortion is an acceptable procedure from a moral and ethical perspective is challenged through the imposition of federal law over the woman's body. Precedent was established in Roe v Wade (1973) that limitations on abortion are unconstitutional as these are invasive controls over the woman's personal privacy. "
