The Supreme Court grounded abortion rights in a privacy right already established by precedent.

Evidence

In Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court invalidated Texas’s traditional abortion statute; and in the companion case of Doe v. Bolton, it struck down Georgia’s reformed, ALI-style abortion law.*> Speaking for a sevenmember majority, Justice Harry Blackmun concluded that the right to privacy, initially recognized in Griswold v. Connecticut 8 years earlier, “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 3103
