Planned Parenthood v. Casey
Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), was a landmark decision case of the Supreme Court of the United States about abortion. In an opinion, the Court supported the right to have an abortion as given in Roe v. Wade (1973).
The case came from a challenge to five provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act of 1982.[1]
On June 24, 2022, the final opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson overturned both Casey and Roe.[2]

Chief Justice William Rehnquist was the senior justice of the four that dissented against the upholding of Roe.
Justice Harry Blackmun, the original author of Roe, would have struck down all of the Pennsylvania abortion restrictions, continuing to apply strict scrutiny.
