Roe v. Wade did not explicitly cite natural law as a basis for its ruling. Instead, the Supreme Court's decision was primarily grounded in the right to privacy implied by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court focused on the constitutional framework rather than philosophical or moral arguments associated with natural law. However, discussions around natural law have influenced broader debates about abortion rights and legal interpretations in American jurisprudence.
