'''''Roe v. Wade''''' was a landmark 1973 [[U.S. Supreme Court]] decision which held that it was [[constitutionality|unconstitutional]] for the Federal government or states to prohibit or "unreasonably limit" access to [[abortion]], prior to a fetus' [[viability]]. The ''Roe'' decision was issued the same day as ''[[Doe v. Bolton]]'', a companion case, which held that states could not prohibit a physician from performing an abortion after the fetus has become "viable" if the physician determines that the abortion is necessary for the "health" of the mother, which could include "physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age," all of which the Court determined were "relevant to the wellbeing of the patient."

This case dealt with an exception to the usual rule that one must allege a threat of imminent prosecution in order to have standing. In ''Roe'', the Court held that there was standing because the alleged injury was said to be "capable of repetition yet evading review."
