Answer:

It ruled that women's right to abortion was rooted in the language of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roe v. Wade court case allowed women to have more freedom by removing excessive intervention and restriction from the government. Giving women the right to make a decision for their own bodies thus promoted receiving a higher education, which caused the status of women to raise in society, as more women were now able to be elected into office. This was also a significant court case as women became a part of the most influential reform movements for women's rights.
