Casey was framed by observers as a test of whether Roe would survive

Evidence

At issue in Casey was the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania law that restricted the availability of abortion by imposing various requirements on women who were seeking abortions and on the facilities providing them (see Table 10.2). Many Court watchers believed that those restrictions interfered with the right of women to terminate their pregnancies, a right that the Court had recognized 20 years earlier in Roe v. Wade. — G.
