Doe v. Bolton was a landmark Supreme Court case decided in 1973, which addressed the legality of abortion. The case arose from a challenge to a Georgia law that imposed strict regulations on abortion procedures, including requiring approval from a hospital committee. The Supreme Court ruled that these restrictions were unconstitutional, emphasizing a woman's right to choose and the importance of privacy in personal medical decisions. The decision in Doe v. Bolton was significant because it expanded the scope of the earlier Roe v. Wade ruling, reinforcing the idea that states could not impose undue burdens on a woman's right to access abortion services. This case helped shape the legal landscape surrounding reproductive rights in the United States.
