Final Answer :
A, C, E
Explanation :
Roe v. Wade established that women have a fundamental right to choose to have an abortion under the U.S. Constitution, but it also allowed states to regulate the procedure, particularly in the second and third trimesters, as long as those regulations did not place an undue burden on the woman. It did not define when human life begins, nor did it give states the right to completely outlaw abortion. It affirmed the role of physicians in making decisions about abortions with their patients.
