Which case overruled Roe v Wade and returned abortion regulation to the states?

• A. Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022)
• B. Roe v. Wade (1973)
• C. Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992)
• D. Abington School District v. Schempp (1963)

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the Supreme Court can overturn its own prior decisions and shift policy back to the states. In the 2022 decision, the Court overruled Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, holding that there is no constitutional right to abortion and returning the power to regulate abortion to state legislatures. This marked a shift away from the federal protections established by Roe and its later refinement in Casey, and it isn't tied to Abington School District v. Schempp, which dealt with school prayer and not abortion. So the case that overruled Roe and returned abortion regulation to the states is Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
