    STUDENT NOTES AND COMMENTS ON THE CASE: I stand by the Court’s decision to uphold Roe v. Wade because I believe that whether a woman chooses to abort her fetus or not should ultimately be left up to her. The State should not have the authority to forbid abortions up until the fetus is able to live outside of the womb, at which point I believe that it is not moral nor should it be legal to abort the fetus. I agree with the decision made in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey to uphold the requirements for informed consent and a 24-hour waiting period. In regard to the reporting requirements, I believe that it is important to keep such records for medical, scientific and statistical reasons. Without such records, medical research on abortions…
