Answer:
Jane Roe sued the state of Texas because she wanted to have a law declared unconstitutional.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Jane Roe" was a pseudonym used for the court case. The actual name of the woman, which was revealed much later, at the center of the case was Norma McCovey, who was a resident of the Ameican state Texas.
According to the laws of Texas, abortion was allowed 'for the purpose of saving the life of the mother', but not for any other reasons.
Attorneys for "Jane Roe" filed suit against the state law, with Dallas County District Attorney named as the defendant to represent the state of Texas.
