How do the courts define or view a 'state's interest' in something? My question relates to the fact that in RvW the interests of women are considered on behalf of the state. Women are equal citizens, persons will full rights. After that, secondary to that, they they examine states' interest in the unborn.
What are a state's interests in the unborn?
Then, considering that unless a woman consents, they would never know if there was an unborn...how can states 'interests' have any validity? Or how can there be an authority to act on behalf of something they done know exists?
