    The Court has established this constitutional law of abortion through a series of decision, called case law, especially Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. States do not have constitutional authority to prohibit the medical practice of abortion before the fetus is viable; any laws that make abortion criminal before viability would be unconstitutional. After viability, that is, when an unborn child is able to live on its own outside the mother, state governments have the authority, but not the obligation, to prohibit abortion,…

    According to Law.com dictionary, self-incrimination exist when a defendant gives statements or producing evidence which tends to prove that he/she is guilty of a crime. The 5th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is clear on that issue that no one should have to compel in any criminal case to be a witness against her/himself. Base on that definition, a defendant has the right to refuse to testify in court on the basis that the testimony may be self-incriminating. The Miranda right reinforces that right to remain silent otherwise anything one says might be used against him/her in court. Base on the information presented in chapter one of the textbook p.29-30, the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination would not prohibit the government from requiring all participants in a lineup to speak certain words, “it is not a testimonial.

Ernesto Miranda was not informed of his rights while in custody, therefore any confessions he made could not be used against him in court. At the Supreme Court level, the conviction was overthrown because he was not informed of his right against self incrimination and his right to remain silent. The case was later re-tried without using his confessions in the trial. Miranda was convicted on the basis of other evidence, and served 11 years for armed robbery. Although Miranda confessed to rape and kidnapping, he could not be prosecuted for it because there was not enough evidence to show he was the offender in those crimes once his confession was thrown out. Chief justice, Earl Warren established the…
