Short Summary of Roe V Wade
The case began in 1970 when "Jane Roe"-a fictional name used to protect the identity of the plaintiff, Norma McCorvey (1947–2017)-instituted federal action against Henry Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, where Roe resided. The Supreme Court disagreed with Roe's assertion of an absolute right to terminate pregnancy in any way and at any time. Instead, it attempted to balance what it regarded as a "fundamental" right to privacy with the state's "compelling" interests in protecting the health of pregnant persons and the "potentiality of human life." In doing so, the Court formulated a timetable based on the notions of trimester and fetal viability (i.e., the "capability of meaningful life outside the mother's womb"). During the first trimester of pregnancy, the Court ruled, the state could not intervene in a person's decision to have an abortion under normal circumstances. During the second trimester the state could regulate abortion procedures to protect the health of pregnant persons, but it could not prohibit abortions altogether. From the end of the second trimester, which the Court identified as the starting point of viability, the state could regulate or prohibit abortions to protect the pregnant person's health or to preserve fetal viability. In no case, however, could the state criminalize abortions that were necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant person.
In Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992), the Supreme Court established that restrictions on abortion are unconstitutional if they place an "undue burden" on a person seeking an abortion before the fetus is viable. In Gonzales v. Carhart (2007), the Court upheld the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act (2003), which prohibited a rarely used abortion procedure known as intact dilation and evacuation.
In May 2021 the Supreme Court agreed to review in its October 2021 term a lower court's decision to strike down a Mississippi state law, adopted in 2018, that banned most abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy, well before the point of fetal viability.
