In response to "Pro-life D Sen. Bob Casey will support a Senate bill to codify Roe v Wade. -- nm" by Strongbad

(historical note: Planned Parenthood vs. Casey was a 1992 SCOTUS case - Casey was Bob Casey's dad who was the PA Governor at the time)

A Pennsylvania law that required spousal awareness prior to obtaining an abortion was invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment because it created an undue burden on married women seeking an abortion. Requirements for parental consent, informed consent, and 24-hour waiting period were constitutionally valid regulations. Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part.
