Opinion of the Court

They have disagreed about bans on certain dilation and evacuation procedures.^[1] They have disagreed about when an increase in the time needed to reach a clinic constitutes an undue burden.^[2] And they have disagreed on whether a State may regulate abortions performed because of the fetus’s race, sex, or disability.^[3]

The Courts of Appeals have experienced particular difficulty in applying the large-fraction-of-relevant-cases test. They have criticized the assignment while reaching unpredictable results.^[4] And they have candidly outlined Casey’s many other problems.^[5]
