Courts strike down most abortion restrictions when justices consistently support a right

Evidence

From 1973 to 1986, the Court consistently reaffirmed its basic holding and closely policed state efforts to curtail the right recognized in Roe. Thus, it invalidated requirements for spousal and parental consent, counseling, hospitalization, and various regulations of abortion procedures. Only governmental refusals to fund abortions and a requirement that parents be notified before a minor could receive an abortion survived the Court’s scrutiny. — G.
