Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional. 2. Whether the validity of a pre-viability law that protects women’s health, the dignity of unborn children, and the integrity of the medical profession and society should be analyzed under Casey’s “undue burden” standard or Hellerstedt’s balancing of benefits and burdens. 3. Whether abortion providers have third-party standing to invalidate a law that protects women’s health from the dangers of late-term abortions. (i)
