Which case held reproductive rights as an element of the right to privacy under the Bill of Rights & the 14th Amendment?

  1. Roe v Wade

  2. Bush

  3. Mapp v Ohio

  4. District of Columbia v Heller

The correct answer is: Roe v Wade

Roe v. Wade was the landmark Supreme Court case that established the legal right to an abortion as a privacy issue protected by the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. Bush, Mapp v. Ohio, and District of Columbia v. Heller are all important cases, but they do not pertain to reproductive rights and privacy in the same way as Roe v. Wade. For example, Bush v. Gore dealt with the disputed 2000 presidential election, Mapp v. Ohio addressed the admissibility of evidence obtained through illegal search and seizure, and District of Columbia v. Heller focused on the Second Amendment's right to bear arms. These cases may have touched on fundamental rights, but they are not directly related to the incorporation of reproductive rights into the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment.
