“…The Constitution does not explicitly mention any right of privacy. …[T]he Court has recognized that a right of personal privacy, or a guarantee of certain areas or zones of privacy, does exist under the Constitution. … This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

All these are factors the woman and her responsible physician necessarily will consider in consultation.” -Majority Opinion Roe v. Wade 1973, Justice Harry Blackmun Which of the following best summarizes Justice Blackmun’s opinion above?
