Thanks. I knew the trimester part. What other barriers are legal now, besides notification and waiting periods?

. . . In 1992, the court surplanted Roe with the Casey decision, which undid Roe's trimester standard and said that states could enact regulations at any point so long as they didn't present "an undue burden" on choosing abortion. In Casey and all the time since, only two burdens have been found undue: husband-notification and late-term abortions. All other burdens the court has seen - including parental notification and waiting periods - it has found to be "due." --BD
