Abortion is protected through an Amendment. The Supreme Court ruled that a person has a right to privacy under the "Due Process Clause" and that laws which prohibited abortion violated this right to privacy. Since the "Due Process Clause" is in Section I of the 14th Amendment, this violated a woman's constitutional rights.
