The Post-Roe v Wade SCOTUS decisions
Quite honestly, I didn't know there were any other abortion decisions BESIDES Roe v. Wade.

The first small crack in Roe jurisprudence came in 1989 when the high court decided Webster v. Reproductive Health Services. This case concerned a Missouri statute that barred public facilities from being used to conduct abortions and prohibited public health workers from performing abortions unless the life of the mother was at risk. The statute also defined life as beginning at conception and directed physicians to perform fetal viability tests on women who were 20 or more weeks pregnant and seeking abortions.
In Casey, the court rendered an even more splintered decision than it had in Webster. The court's three centrists - Justices Kennedy, O'Connor and David Souter - took the unusual step of issuing a joint opinion authored by all three justices. They were joined by the court's liberal wing - Justices Blackmun and John Paul Stevens - in affirming Roe's core principle: that the state may not prohibit pre-viability abortions. But the three centrists were joined by the court's more conservative wing - Justices Rehnquist, Scalia, White and Clarence Thomas - in upholding all of the Pennsylvania statute's requirements, except the provision concerning spousal notification.
