37. Planned Parenthood v. Casey
One thing people don't realize is that Roe is not the most recent case on abortion and that the trimester system is no longer relevant. In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, SCOTUS reaffirmed the validity of a woman's right to choose abortion under Roe v. Wade, but revoked its definition of that abortion right as "fundamental." The court constructed a new standard of review that allows restrictions on abortion prior to fetal viability so long as they do not constitute an "undue burden" to the woman.
