"Casey v. Planned Parenthood" is a significant Supreme Court case from 1992 that addressed the legality of abortion in the United States. The case arose from a challenge to several provisions of the Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act, which included requirements for parental consent and a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion. The Supreme Court upheld the right to have an abortion but allowed states to impose certain restrictions, as long as they did not place an "undue burden" on a woman's right to choose. The ruling reaffirmed the core principles established in the earlier case of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide. The decision in Casey emphasized the importance of balancing a woman's right to make decisions about her body with the state's interest in protecting potential life. This case has had a lasting impact on abortion laws and continues to influence legal debates surrounding reproductive rights in the United States.
