- Title
Overcoming Barriers to the Protection of Viable Fetuses.
- Authors
Beck, Randy
- Abstract
The article discusses the process of overcoming barriers to the protection of reportedly viable fetuses as of 2014, focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court's (USSC's) abortion-related case law, as well as an apparently compelling state interest in preserving the lives of fetuses that can potentially live outside a mother's womb with artificial assistance. U.S. constitutional law, the legal rights of abortion providers, and the USSC's ruling in the abortion rights case Roe v. Wade are examined.
