2) Summary of the Opinion
Mississippi passed a law banning most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, directly challenging Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992). The Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision, upheld the law and explicitly overruled Roe and Casey, holding that the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion.
