Answer 1

e. only a and c.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the landmark case Roe v. Wade (1973), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the right to privacy extends to an abortion, and that the Constitution protects a woman's right to choose to have an abortion. However, the Court also ruled that the right to an abortion is not absolute, and that the state has a legitimate interest in regulating abortion to protect the health of the mother and the potential life of the fetus. The Court established a trimester framework for evaluating state abortion regulations, with greater state restrictions on abortion permitted as the pregnancy progresses.
