Legacy Of Roe V. Wade Endures After Death Of Woman Who Sued

WASHINGTON (AP) — Using the pseudonym "Jane Roe," Norma McCorvey undertook a legal challenge that culminated in the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in 1973 that legalized abortion nationwide. In 1992, the Supreme Court ruled that states generally can regulate abortion unless doing so places "an undue burden" on women. Some states require ultrasounds and some require women be given information about the fetus' ability to feel pain. States may also require women to wait a specified period of time after her initial visit about obtaining an abortion before having the procedure. In 2016, the Supreme Court issued its strongest defense of abortion rights in a quarter-century in a case that involved some of these restrictions. In a 5-3 decision written by Justice Stephen Breyer the court struck down Texas' widely replicated rules that required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and forced clinics to meet hospital-like standards for outpatient surgery.
