Planned Parenthood v. Casey

Planned Parenthood v. Casey is a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld the constitutional right to have an abortion, but also allowed states to impose certain restrictions. The Court reaffirmed the central holding of Roe v. Wade but ruled that states could implement regulations as long as they did not place an "undue burden" on a woman's right to choose. This decision clarified the balance between state interests in protecting prenatal life and a woman's autonomy over her reproductive choices, significantly shaping abortion policy in the United States.
