This case was the most significant in the history of abortion in America. It provided that abortions should be legal if there was a convincing reason to have one. This decision was immediately updated in Doe v. Bolton.
 * Roe v. Wade, 1972**

In Georgia there were only few ways to terminate a pregnancy like being raped, if the baby has any defects, or if the pregnancy can hurt the mother. In this case the pregnant woman said that it is their constitutional right to terminate the pregnancy if the mother chooses. This case overturned all other abortion laws making it legal.
 * Doe v. Bolton**

This case made some requirements before having an abortion. First the woman would need to be evaluated then be made wait 24 hours before having the abortion. If the girl is under 18 then she would need parent consent and do the evaluation. If the lady is married she would need consent from her spouse and get evaluated. After each abortion performed it is required to report it to the state, including the physician and anyone who helped in the operation.
