== Stare Decisis? == 

 Although popularly understood as an "abortion" case, I think more needs to be made of Casey's very significant changes to the doctrine of stare decisis, which merits more than just a one paragraph note. The four-part Casey test needs to be explained in detail and it needs to be alluded to in the lead paragraph. Strangely, it may be the stare decisis element of Casey that has the longer term consequences for abortion jurisprudence, rather than the Court's specific and highly restrained language about abortion itself here. I thought of making these changes myself but am too novitiate in Wikipedia protocol to do it without mangling the fine job that's already been done!
