Abortion restrictions must meet the undue burden standard. The Supreme Court developed this standard to limit the impact of Roe v. Wade, which had imposed a strict scrutiny standard for abortion regulations. The undue burden standard prevents a state from imposing an undue burden on the ability of a woman to pursue an abortion. Determining whether a law meets this standard is highly fact-specific, but informed consent and waiting periods before abortions are generally not considered undue burdens, while requiring a married woman to notify her husband is an undue burden.
