8. In the immediate aftermath of Roe v. Wade, a number of Supreme Court decisions moved toward a position that any interference in the right to abort was undue interference. After a number of conservative judicial appointments to the Court, pro-life advocates hoped Roe v. Wade would be overturned with the case of Casey v. Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania ( ) 505 U.S., at 871. Instead, the Court continued to find a constitutional right of Abortion. The Court did however state that the States had a “substantial interest” in potential human life throughout pregnancy, and that federal courts were not to require the States to satisfy the highest level of proof to justify restrictions on abortion. (This highest level of proof is that of proving a “compelling state interest” to satisfy a “strict scrutiny” by the Court.)
