From a Wall Street Journal story by Peter Landers headlined “Key Excerpts From Supreme Court’s Abortion Ruling Overturning Roe v. Wade”:
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned both the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion, and a 1992 opinion that reaffirmed Roe, called Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey.
Below are excerpts from the majority opinion by Justice Samuel Alito; concurrences by Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Brett Kavanaugh; a concurrence in the judgment by Chief Justice John Roberts that takes issue with the majority’s approach; and a dissent jointly written by Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
