He was trying to explain how Roe applied different standards of abortion rights based on the trimester of pregnancy due to a shifting balance between state interests and the individual's interests. Most importantly, the court held you were entitled to get an abortion without needing any reason in the first trimester. Casey changed this to a standard based on fetal viability.
This didn't have anything to do with the question, which was whether should be any limits on abortion based on the stage of development—as several states have none. Nothing in Roe or Casey prevented states from restricting the late-term abortions.
redditors kept bringing up the abortion stuff as being aborted post birth as something that's never happened ever. The reality is it's not legally currently being done but they are either too young or intentionally memory holing the partial birth abortion procedures and the absolute fricking horror show that was prior to it finally getting banned.
Also ignoring it's outright legal in some countries whose healthcare we're always being told to copy, such as Belgium.
The federal partial-birth abortion ban is stupid though. In practice it just means the doctors have to make extra sure to kill the baby before taking it out of the womb.
I support Roe v. Wade, which had three trimesters. The first time is between a woman and a doctor. Second time is between a doctor and an extreme situation. A third time is between the doctor, I mean, between the women and the state.

Thanks for the explanation, I genuinely wouldn't have been able to figure out what he was babbling about

Ohhhh... I legit thought that he said "trimester" accidentally. It's hard when he keeps throwing out random nonsense words.

if the baby is viable just remove it from the womb, then its no longer violating the woman's bodily autonomy, no reason to kill it

Ralph Northam openly advocated for post term abortion:

Leftoids also believe abortion should be a decision only up to the mother. This logically means they want no restrictions whatsoever on abortion
