Others have tightly restricted abortion beginning well before viability. When that happens, stare decisis is not a straitjacket. 1. Rather, wielding nothing but raw judicial power, Roe, 410 U.S., at 222 (White, J., dissenting), the Court usurped the power to address a question of profound moral and social importance that the Constitution unequivocally leaves for the people. The same is the case, where one lays poison for A; and B, against whom the prisoner had no malicious intent, takes it, and it kills him; this is likewise murder. The global trend, however, has been toward increased provision of legal and safe abortion care. 35 The statutes of three States (Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) prohibited abortions performed unlawfully or without lawful justification. Roe, 410 U.S., at 139 (internal quotation marks omitted).

Ely, The Wages of Crying Wolf: A Comment on Roe v. Wade, 82 Yale L. J. 78, p. 523 (J. Cooke ed. The continued and significant opposition to Roe, as reflected in the laws and positions of numerous States, is relevant to assessing Casey on its own terms.

By disclaiming any need to consider broad swaths of individuals interests, the Court arrogates to itself the authority to overrule established legal principles without even acknowledging the costs of its decisions for the individuals who live under the law, costs that this Courts stare decisis doctrine instructs us to privilege when deciding whether to change course. See Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), R. Wilson, J. Klevens, D. Williams, & L.

Pea, 515 U.S. 200, 240 (1995) (Thomas, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment).

Another amicus brief relied upon by respondents (see Brief for Respondents 21) tries to dismiss the significance of the state criminal statutes that were in effect when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted by suggesting that they were enacted for illegitimate reasons. To the extent that this rule applies to pre-viability abortions, it overlaps with the first rule and appears to impose a different standard. By taking sides on a difficult and contentious issue on which the Constitution is neutral, Roe overreached and exceeded this Courts constitutional authority; gravely distorted the Nations understanding of this Courts proper constitutional role; and caused significant harm to what Roe itself recognized as the States important and legitimate interest in protecting fetal life. Roes failure even to note the overwhelming consensus of state laws in effect in 1868 is striking, and what it said about the common law was simply wrong. See, e.g., June Medical Services L.L.C. v. Russo, 591 U.S. ___ (2020) (holding a law requiring doctors performing abortions to secure admitting privileges to be unconstitutional); Whole Womans Health v. Hellerstedt, 579 U.S. 582 (2016) (similar); Casey, 505 U.S., at 846 (declaring that prohibitions on abortion before viability are unconstitutional); id., at 887898 (holding that a spousal notification provision was unconstitutional). 34 (1978). v.

Experts estimate that a ban on abortions increases maternal mortality by 21 percent, with white women facing a 13 percent increase in maternal mortality while black women face a 33 percent increase.13 Pregnancy and childbirth may also impose large-scale financial costs.

It is indeed telling that other countries almost uniformly eschew a viability line. 2.

Moreover, many authorities asserted that even a pre-quickening abortion was unlawful and that, as a result, an abortionist was guilty of murder if the woman died from the attempt. 1, 186189 (1824), which offers a fixed standard for ascertaining what our founding document means, 1 J. .
