Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Casey v. Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania did not specifically address violence against abortion clinics, the requirement for a woman to inform her husband before getting an abortion, or overturn Roe v. Wade. It did, however, repudiate the notion that a husband had legal control over his wife's body, particularly in the context of making decisions about abortion, by invalidating the spousal notification requirement. This decision was seen as affirming the essential holding of Roe v. Wade, thus not a clear triumph for the pro-life position.
