Casey saw Roe as of a piece: In critical respects the abortion decision is of the same character. 505 U.S., at 852. The underlying theory on which this argument reststhat the Fourteenth Amendments Due Process Clause provides substantive, as well as procedural, protection for libertyhas long been controversial.

While individuals are certainly free to think and to say what they wish about existence, meaning, the universe, and the mystery of human life, they are not always free to act in accordance with those thoughts. Dividing pregnancy into three trimesters, the Court imposed special rules for each. Assume the majority is sincere in saying, for whatever reason, that it will go so far and no further. And indeed, it has given no other reason for overruling Roe and Casey. This is so because the fetus then presumably has the capability of meaningful life outside the womb. 410 U.S., at 163. And I respect the Casey pluralitys good-faith effort to locate some middle ground or compromise that could resolve this controversy for America. Compare Whole Womans Health v.

The dissent, which would retain the viability line, offers no justification for it either. Statutes at Large, federal, state, and foreign laws, executive orders, and judicial materials, as well as legal and legislative information, are included. See Appendix A, infra (listing state statutory provisions in chronological order).33 By 1868, the year when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, three-quarters of the States, 28 out of 37, had enacted statutes making abortion a crime even if it was performed before quickening.34 See ibid.

The dissent argues that we have abandon[ed] stare decisis, post, at 30, but we have done no such thing, and it is the dissents understanding of stare decisis that breaks with tradition. Roe either ignored or misstated this history, and Casey declined to reconsider Roes faulty historical analysis. The lead opinion surveyed the origins of the Second Amendment, the debates in Congress about the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, the state constitutions in effect when that Amendment was ratified (at least 22 of the 37 States protected the right to keep and bear arms), federal laws enacted during the same period, and other relevant historical evidence. But those decisions, unlike todays, responded to changed law and to changed facts and attitudes that had taken hold throughout society. That seems to us a good description. We are a small team of technologists who believe that everyone should be able to read and understand the laws that govern them. After careful and thoughtful consideration, the Casey plurality reaffirmed a right to abortion through viability (about 24 weeks), while also allowing somewhat more regulation of abortion than Roe had allowed.4. It is settled now, the Court saidthough it was not always sothat the Constitution places limits on a States right to interfere with a persons most basic decisions about family and parenthood, as well as bodily integrity.

We have also explained why that is so: rights regarding contraception and same-sex relationships are inherently different from the right to abortion because the latter (as we have stressed) uniquely involves what Roe and Casey termed potential life. Roe, 410 U.S., at 150 (emphasis deleted); Casey, 505 U.S., at 852. During the first trimester, the Court announced, the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant womans attending physician. Id., at 164. Rev.

Or at least that is so if the majority is serious about its sole reason for overturning Roe and Casey: the legal status of abortion in the 19th century. It has been said that it is sometimes more important that an issue be settled than that it be settled right. Kimble, 576 U.S., at 455 (quoting Burnet v. Coronado Oil & Gas Co., 285 U.S. 393, 406 (1932) (Brandeis, J., dissenting)). 5 In a perplexing paragraph in its opinion, the majority declares that it need not say whether that statement from Casey is true. Those responsible for the original Constitution, including the Fourteenth Amendment, did not perceive women as equals, and did not recognize womens rights. The Court today properly heeds the constitutional principle of judicial neutrality and returns the issue of abortion to the people and their elected representatives in the democratic process. It indicates, "Click to perform a search". 3 See J. Mohr, Abortion in America: The Origins and Evolution of National Policy, 18001900, pp. A multimedia archive of the U.S. Supreme Court.

RespondentsJackson Womens Health Organization, an abortion clinic, and one of its doctorschallenged the Act in Federal District Court, alleging that it violated this Courts precedents establishing a constitutional right to abortion, in particular Roe v.

The Constitution does not grant the nine unelected Members of this Court the unilateral authority to rewrite the Constitution to create new rights and liberties based on our own moral or policy views. 7 See id., at 843 (joint opinion of OConnor, Kennedy, and Souter, JJ.). CSE (Council of Science Editors) Documentation. Reading Legal Citations. Laws pp. This Court has neither the authority nor the expertise to adjudicate those disputes, and the Casey pluralitys speculations and weighing of the relative importance of the fetus and mother represent a departure from the original constitutional proposition that courts do not substitute their social and economic beliefs for the judgment of legislative bodies. Ferguson v. Skrupa, 372 U.S. 726, 729730 (1963). None of this, however, requires that we also take the dramatic step of altogether eliminating the abortion right first recognized in Roe. The government could not control a womans body or the course of a womans life: It could not determine what the womans future would be. 42. By characterizing Caseys reliance arguments as generalized assertions about the national psyche, ante, at 64, it reveals how little it knows or cares about womens lives or about the suffering its decision will cause. See supra, at 3, 3637. 4 As the Court today notes, Caseys approach to stare decisis pointed in two directions. Women are not without electoral or political power. Even though the Constitution makes no mention of abortion, the Court held that it confers a broad right to obtain one. Every person who shall be convicted of wilfully administering to any pregnant woman, or to any woman supposed by such person to be pregnant, anything whatever, or shall employ any means whatever, with intent thereby to procure the miscarriage of such woman, unless the same is necessary to preserve her life, shall be imprisoned not exceeding one year, or fined not exceeding one thousand dollars.90, Sec. As we have recounted, both parties and the Solicitor General have urged us either to reaffirm or overrule Roe and Casey. Deciding whether a precedent should be overruled depends in part on whether the rule it imposes is workablethat is, whether it can be understood and applied in a consistent and predictable manner. It is only where there is no valid narrower ground of decision that we should go on to address a broader issue, such as whether a constitutional decision should be overturned. True enough that Casey took notice of the national controversy about abortion: The Court knew in 1992, as it did in 1973, that abortion was a divisive issue. Casey, 505 U.S., at 867868; see Roe, 410 U.S., at 116.

Most successful proponent[s] of overruling precedent, this Court once said, have carried the heavy burden of persuading the Court that changes in society or in the law dictate that the values served by stare decisis yield in favor of a greater objective. Vasquez, 474 U.S., at 266. 1961). 576 U.S., at 671. Thus, with respect to the standard grounds for constitutional decisionmakingtext, history, and precedentCasey did not attempt to bolster Roes reasoning. See ante, at 4041, 70. Through that democratic process, the people and their representatives may decide to allow or limit abortion. That factthe presence of countervailing interestsis what made the abortion question hard, and what necessitated balancing. See Tr. If that rule is to become the law of the land, it must stand on its own, but the concurrence makes no attempt to show that this rule represents a correct interpretation of the Constitution.

Citing a broad array of cases, the Court found support for a constitutional right of personal privacy, id., at 152, but it conflated two very different meanings of the term: the right to shield information from disclosure and the right to make and implement important personal decisions without governmental interference.
