A timeline of the abortion debate at the Supreme Court, from Roe v. Wade to now

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : A federal district court in Dallas finds the Texas abortion laws to be unconstitutional because "the fundamental right of single women and married persons to choose whether to have children is protected by the Ninth Amendment, through the Fourteenth Amendment," and the state's laws infringe upon that right.
51% : The Supreme Court issues a divided 5-4 ruling in the case of Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, which involved the provisions enacted by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1988 and 1989.
47% : The secretary of health and human services issues new regulations to provide "'clear and operational guidance' to grantees about how to preserve the distinction between Title X programs and abortion as a method of family planning."
46% : The court lays out a trimester framework for when the state, in promoting its interests, can restrict abortion.
45% : Here is a look at the key court fights, beginning with Roe, that brought us to this moment in the history of abortion rights in the United States:Jane Roe, now identified as Norma McCorvey, wants to terminate her pregnancy by abortion and files suit against the Dallas County district attorney, arguing Texas' criminal abortion statutes are unconstitutional and violate her right to privacy under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and 14th Amendments.
44% : The right to abortion does not fall within this category."
37% : The rules specify that a Title X project cannot provide counseling concerning the use of abortion as a method of family planning or provide referral for abortion as a method of family planning; prohibit a Title X project from engaging in activities that "encourage, promote or advocate abortion" as a method of family planning; and require Title X projects be organized so they're "physically and financially separate" from restricted abortion activities.
36% : Missouri's governor signs into law legislation that imposes numerous restrictions on abortion, several of which would be the subject of a court battle.
24% : Alito writes that Roe was "egregiously wrong from the start" and "must be overruled.""The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely -- the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," Alito writes.
