I know that in this particular Supreme Court brief, the Justices did not want to determine when exactly a fetus was viable. In their opinion, they stated that in the 3rd trimester the states had the power to further regulate and even prohibit abortion. Unfortunately, in Stenberg v. Carhart (2000), the Supreme Court stated that a woman could have a partial birth abortion if her mental, emotional, or physical health was at risk. In terms of complete inconsistency, they did not revoke the parts of ruling in Roe v. Wade that conflicted with the ruling in Stenberg v. carhart.

Abortion on demand has its origins in two cases, Roe and Doe.
