This is a correct statement of the holding in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which was a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld the constitutionality of several Pennsylvania state restrictions on abortion, including a 24-hour waiting period and parental consent requirements for minors, while striking down others as undue burdens. The Court established the "undue burden" standard as a test for evaluating abortion regulations, which requires that they not place a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion before the fetus is viable. Subsequent cases, such as Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt (2016), have further refined and applied this standard.
