Prior to fetal viability, a state may regulate abortions just like any other medical procedure -- so long as the regulation in question does not place an "undue burden" on a woman's reproductive rights. But what, exactly, constitutes an "undue burden?" A number of states have recently enacted pre-viability medical regulations, and some of those regulations have been challenged. Indeed, a closely-watched case from Texas is now before the United States Supreme Court. Join Stewart and Doug McKechnie of the U.S. Air Force Academy's law department as they discuss this complex and controversial area of constitutional law.
