    SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
    Syllabus
    DOBBS, STATE HEALTH OFFICER OF THE
    MISSISSIPPI DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ET AL. v.
    JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION ET AL.
    CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR
    THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
    No. 19–1392. Argued December 1, 2021—Decided June 24, 2022
    Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act provides that “[e]xcept in a medical
    emergency or in the case of a severe fetal abnormality, a person shall
    not intentionally or knowingly perform . . . or induce an abortion of an
    unborn human being if the probable gestational age of the unborn human being has been determined to be greater than fifteen (15) weeks.”
    Miss. Code Ann. §41–41–191. Respondents—Jackson Women’s Health
    Organization, an abortion clinic, and one of its doctors—challenged the
    Act in Federal District Court, alleging that it violated this Court’s precedents establishing a constitutional right to abortion, in particular Roe
    v. Wade, 410 U. S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa.
    v. Casey, 505 U. S. 833. The District Court granted summary judgment in favor of respondents and permanently enjoined enforcement
    of the Act, reasoning that Mississippi’s 15-week restriction on abortion
    violates this Court’s cases forbidding States to ban abortion pre-viability. The Fifth Circuit affirmed. Before this Court, petitioners defend
    the Act on the grounds that Roe and Casey were wrongly decided and
    that the Act is constitutional because it satisfies rational-basis review.
    Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey
    are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the
    people and their elected representatives. Pp. 8–79.
    (a) The critical question is whether the Constitution, properly understood, confers a right to obtain an abortion. Casey’s controlling
    opinion skipped over that question and reaffirmed Roe solely on the
    basis of stare decisis. A proper application of stare decisis, however,
    requires an assessment of the strength of the grounds on which Roe 2 DOBBS v. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION
    Syllabus
    was based. The Court therefore turns to the question that the Casey
    plurality did not consider. Pp. 8–32.
    (1) First, the Court reviews the standard that the Court’s cases
    have used to determine whether the Fourteenth Amendment’s reference to “liberty” protects a particular right. The Constitution makes
    no express reference to a right to obtain an abortion, but several constitutional provisions have been offered as potential homes for an implicit constitutional right. Roe held that the abortion right is part of a
    right to privacy that springs from the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and
    Fourteenth Amendments. See 410 U. S., at 152–153. The Casey Court
    grounded its decision solely on the theory that the right to obtain an
    abortion is part of the “liberty” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Others have suggested that support can
    be found in the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause, but
    that theory is squarely foreclosed by the Court’s precedents, which establish that a State’s regulation of abortion is not a sex-based classification and is thus not subject to the heightened scrutiny that applies
    to such classifications. See Geduldig v. Aiello, 417 U. S. 484, 496,
    n. 20; Bray v. Alexandria Women’s Health Clinic, 506 U. S. 263, 273–
    274. Rather, regulations and prohibitions of abortion are governed by
    the same standard of review as other health and safety measures.
    Pp. 9–11.
    (2) Next, the Court examines whether the right to obtain an abortion is rooted in the Nation’s history and tradition and whether it is an
    essential component of “ordered liberty.” The Court finds that the
    right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and tradition. The underlying theory on which Casey rested—that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause provides substantive, as well
    as procedural, protection for “liberty”—has long been controversial.
    The Court’s decisions have held that the Due Process Clause protects two categories of substantive rights—those rights guaranteed by
    the first eight Amendments to the Constitution and those rights
    deemed fundamental that are not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution. In deciding whether a right falls into either of these categories,
    the question is whether the right is “deeply rooted in [our] history and
    tradition” and whether it is essential to this Nation’s “scheme of ordered liberty.” Timbs v. Indiana, 586 U. S. ___, ___ (internal quotation
    marks omitted). The term “liberty” alone provides little guidance.
    Thus, historical inquiries are essential whenever the Court is asked to
    recognize a new component of the “liberty” interest protected by the
    Due Process Clause. In interpreting what is meant by “liberty,” the
    Court must guard against the natural human tendency to confuse
    what the Fourteenth Amendment protects with the Court’s own ardent
    views about the liberty that Americans should enjoy. For this reason, the Court has been “reluctant” to recognize rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution. Collins v. Harker Heights, 503 U. S. 115, 125.
    Guided by the history and tradition that map the essential components of the Nation’s concept of ordered liberty, the Court finds the
    Fourteenth Amendment clearly does not protect the right to an abortion. Until the latter part of the 20th century, there was no support in
    American law for a constitutional right to obtain an abortion. No state
    constitutional provision had recognized such a right. Until a few years
    before Roe, no federal or state court had recognized such a right. Nor
    had any scholarly treatise. Indeed, abortion had long been a crime in
    every single State. At common law, abortion was criminal in at least
    some stages of pregnancy and was regarded as unlawful and could
    have very serious consequences at all stages. American law followed
    the common law until a wave of statutory restrictions in the 1800s expanded criminal liability for abortions. By the time the Fourteenth
    Amendment was adopted, three-quarters of the States had made abortion a crime at any stage of pregnancy. This consensus endured until
    the day Roe was decided. Roe either ignored or misstated this history,
    and Casey declined to reconsider Roe’s faulty historical analysis.
    Respondents’ argument that this history does not matter flies in the
    face of the standard the Court has applied in determining whether an
    asserted right that is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution is nevertheless protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The Solicitor General repeats Roe’s claim that it is “doubtful . . . abortion was ever firmly
    established as a common-law crime even with respect to the destruction of a quick fetus,” 410 U. S., at 136, but the great common-law authorities—Bracton, Coke, Hale, and Blackstone—all wrote that a postquickening abortion was a crime. Moreover, many authorities asserted that even a pre-quickening abortion was “unlawful” and that,
    as a result, an abortionist was guilty of murder if the woman died from
    the attempt. The Solicitor General suggests that history supports an
    abortion right because of the common law’s failure to criminalize abortion before quickening, but the insistence on quickening was not universal, see Mills v. Commonwealth, 13 Pa. 631, 633; State v. Slagle, 83
    N. C. 630, 632, and regardless, the fact that many States in the late
    18th and early 19th century did not criminalize pre-quickening abortions does not mean that anyone thought the States lacked the authority to do so.
    Instead of seriously pressing the argument that the abortion right

    women's health from the dangers of late-term abortions.
