Roe v. Wade was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Courtâin Dobbs v. Jackson Womenâs Health Organization (2022)âbecause the Courtâs majority at the time rejected the Roe majorityâs argument that a right to pre-viability abortion (abortion before âmeaningful life outside the motherâs wombâ is possible) is implicit in the right to privacy, which is protected by the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
