Science Disputes in Abortion Law

Year: 2015

Type: preprint

Abstract: This article shows how different views of the undue burden test determine how courts will handle abortion restrictions, e.g., whether they use a rational basis or a balancing approach. Focusing on the Fifth Circuit's decisions upholding Texas restrictions on abortion, it argues that the Supreme Court should adopt a balancing test for determining whether a burden is undue.
