(1) The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v.
Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973) established constitu-
tionally based limits on the power of States to re-
strict the right of a woman to choose to terminate
a pregnancy. Under the strict scrutiny standard
enunciated in the Roe v. Wade decision, States were
required to demonstrate that laws restricting the
right of a woman to choose to terminate a pregnancy
were the least restrictive means available to achieve
a compelling State interest. Since 1989, the Su-
preme Court has no longer applied the strict scru-
tiny standard in reviewing challenges to the constitu-
tionality of State laws restricting such rights.
(2) As a result of the recent modification by the
Supreme Court of the strict scrutiny standard enun-
ciated in the Roe v. Wade decision, certain States
have restricted the right of women to choose to ter-
minate a pregnancy or to utilize some forms of con-
traception, and the restrictions operate cumulatively
to—
(A)(i) increase the number of illegal or
medically less safe abortions, often resulting in
physical impairment, loss of reproductive capac-
ity, or death to the women involved;
out regard to whether the party aggrieved shall have ex-
hausted any administrative or other remedies that may be 
provided for by law.
