'Roe and Casey are the twin pillars of the court's jurisprudence,' on abortion, Melissa Murray, a professor of law at New York University, told NPR:
was used to set standards on when an abortion could be restricted. In the first trimester of pregnancy, an abortion was unrestricted. In the second trimester, the state was allowed to add some restrictions but not outlaw abortions in the interest of the pregnant person's health.
As long as an abortion restriction does not add an extra burden or"substantial obstacle" onto the person seeking an abortion before the fetus is viable, the restriction is allowed. And that's how the legality of abortion restrictions have been determined since 1992.This is where it gets complicated: What constitutes a burden?that required counseling before an abortion, waiting periods and parental involvement for a minor.
And it was up to judges to determine whether these state laws could be considered burdens. That led to"incredibly subjective" decisionmaking, Khiara Bridges, a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, said. "When we're asking 'Does it impose an undue burden?' which person are we talking about? If it's an affluent person with a car and credit cards, very few abortion regulations would impose an undue burden," Bridges said.
"But for a poor person who lives in rural areas and doesn't have a car, a two trip requirement to an abortion clinic because there's a 24 hour period, that would be an incredible burden on that person," she said
