Case Summary

(This summary is temporary while we research the case). This case challenged abortion restrictions in Pennsylvania, including parental consent and spousal consent. Ultimately, the Supreme Court reaffirmed Roe v. Wade's holding that abortion is a fundamental right and that any abortion restriction that posed an undue burden on a woman's access to care was unconstitutional. Casey was later reversed in Dobbs.
