Supreme Court had shifted its opinion toward more regulation on abortion. The Planned Parenthood v. Casey case in 1992 allowed state regulation of abortion if it would not impose a “undue burden” on women, thereby enabling different kinds of state laws that significantly increase the difficulty of getting an abortion.
