Planned Parenthood v. Casey Summary | quimbee.com

Planned Parenthood (plaintiff) brought suit against Casey (defendant), the Governor of Pennsylvania, in federal district court for the purpose of challenging five restrictions on abortion under Pennsylvania law. Most significantly, the Pennsylvania statute required informed consent and a 24-hour waiting period for all women prior to undergoing the procedure. All minors seeking an abortion were required to obtain the informed consent of at least one parent, while a married woman had to show that she notified her husband of her intent to abort the fetus. The district court issued judgment for Planned Parenthood, but the court of appeals upheld all Pennsylvania provisions except the requirement of spousal notification. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.

O’Connor, Stevens, Souter, Kennedy, Thomas, Scalia, White, Rehnquist, and Blackmun all on the court at the same time. Wow.

Only law calls a child an "undo burden". Rape, incest, an unviable fetus*, or if the life of the mother is at stake are the only reasons to abort a pregnancy.
I've spoken with rape victims that had to abort. They're doomed either way. They abort the baby and feel guilty for the rest of their lives, or they keep the baby to raise and have to look at the eyes of the rapist for the rest of their lives or give it up for adoption AFTER having to carry the child to term. The physical, psychological and spiritual ramifications are more than what's on the surface. I can't imagine the pain that any of this costs.

*fetus is used as a medical term

[lizicadumitru]

Viable fetus?? What's an unviable fetus?

[melissashupe]

An undue burden on women's right to choose? What? No! Men do not have the authority to tell women what they can and can not do with their own bodies!

[rkba]

I don't know. What do you think?

[jkwellness]

Of course the right side is old men with views from before abortion was legalized.

The law should be her body her choice but should also be his wallet his choice

[wayanlantela]

Why shouldn't they have to notify their spouses, it's probably their child too.

[louielizzy]

As a legal matter, I believe people in the U.S. have the right to NOT have an abortion. Therefore, under the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, people in the U.S. have the right to have an abortion.

[jakeleo]

Why would notifying the father be unconstitutional? It's just as much of his as of her.

[michaelschaefer]

Blackmun should have recused himself from this case since, if memory serves, his daughter was a leader of Planned Parenthood in Orlando.

This world is going to hell unless people turn from their wicked ways and repent.

[davidparsons]

The system can't tell you that you can and can't do with your body tell them that they don't and I mean don't have authority over man and woman the states have no say over me and you tell them there not god and there not your creator of life and mind there bisunness

[gabrielmedina]

This issue really needs to be revisited. The current framework allows for too much bad interpretation, and thus, killing of unborn babies.

Psalm 106:38 And shed innocent blood, even blood of their sons and of their daughters, /; and polluted the land with blood. Proverbs 6:16, 17... These six things doeth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood
