Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt

Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case decided in 2016. The Court ruled that Texas laws imposing strict requirements on abortion clinics were unconstitutional, as they placed an undue burden on a woman's right to access abortion services. The laws, which aimed to improve safety, were found to be unnecessary and significantly reduced the number of clinics, limiting women's access to care. The decision reinforced the importance of protecting reproductive rights and ensuring that regulations do not unjustly hinder access to healthcare.
