Supreme Court Keeps Roe v. Wade Core, Lets States Limit Abortions
The Supreme Court, in a divided ruling, upholds the central Roe v. Wade framework but allows states to impose new hurdles on abortion. The decision, delivered during the 1991 92 term, keeps abortion rights intact while permitting broader state restrictions, drawing praise and disappointment from both sides. Justice Kennedy and Justice Souter joined Blackmun and Stevens in maintaining the core decision.
