The Supreme Court and Abortion Rights . The last sentence before the Discussion section (page 2205) should have read "As described in Casey, stare decisis is a doctrine that obligates courts to follow the principles set forth in prior cases, called precedents, to assure continuity in the law, and precedents should not be abandoned under `political pressure' or as an `unprincipled emotional reaction,'²" rather than "stare decisis is a doctrine that the principals use to decide whether previous cases, called precedents, should be followed by courts and not abandoned under `political pressure' or as an `unprincipled emotional reaction.'²" The text has been corrected on the Journal's Web site at www.nejm.org.
