The Judiciary

“The Court held that, in regard to abortions during the first trimester, the decision must be left to the judgment of the pregnant woman’s doctor. In regard to second trimester pregnancies, states may promote their interests in the mother’s health by regulating abortion procedures related to the health of the mother. Regarding third trimester pregnancies, states may promote their interests in the potentiality of human life by regulating or even prohibiting abortion, except when necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother.

The Supreme Court held that litigation involving pregnancy, which is “capable of repetition, yet evading review,” is an exception to the general rule that an actual controversy must exist at each stage of judicial review, and not merely when the action is initiated.”

This was very interesting because of the way state law and Amendment overlapped. According to the “Roe v. Wade – Case Brief Summary” The Supreme Court handled the Texas abortion law pretty well.

It is true conferring to the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution protect the right to privacy, so abortion should be a private personal option but with limitation that abortion on 1 and 2 trimesters is okay but 3^rd trimester is not okay then it becomes a murder. During 3^rd trimester a fetus is fully developed as a human being, a person, morally it is not right to have abortion during at the end stage of pregnancy.
