Casey v. Planned Parenthood of
Southeastern Pennsylvania
Supreme Court of the United
States (1991)

CONCLUSION
For the reasons stated above, amicus curiae Agudath Israel of America respectfully submits that Roe v. Wade's holding that all abortions are expressions of a "fundamental" constitutional right should be reconsidered and expressly overruled; and that in its place the Court should adopt a framework whereby abortion claims would or would not be accorded "fundamental right" status depending upon the circumstances surrounding their assertion -- a framework under which both a woman's religious freedom and a fetus' "right to life" would be accorded significant legal protection.
