bortions. Advocates for abortion rights as well as practitioners claim that some form of law must be in place to uphold life and protect women’s health, safety and fairness.

A decision by the Supreme Court defined the term undue burden defined undue burden as a substantial obstacle to overcome before there is an infringement on the right of women to abortion services. The meaning of the word “significant obstacle” has changed over time with court case interpretations, making it difficult to know what it means today.

Undue Burden vs. Large Obstacle

The court considers a series of considerations to determine if the law is an excessive burden. The law is deemed to be excessively weighty by the courts if it serves a purpose or has an effect that places a substantial obstacle on women seeking abortion. To determine if an excessive burden is imposed in a case, courts often base their decision on the state legislatures.

It is up to the woman to determine if she can legally seek an abortion. The states are allowed to enact health and safety regulations so long as they do not place substantial obstructions in that goal. Consider the potential burden of having an abortion for women seeking to have it against the laws that protect their safety and health.

The United States government has attempted to make women’s reproductive rights more restricted for years. Roe v Wade is one of the most well-known and strict laws. It states that women who are pregnant can legally obtain an abortion without any interference from the government.

Legal experts believe it’s women’s decision to choose whether they’re prolife and pro-choice. The legal cases that have come up are based on this doctrine, in which plaintiffs have claimed their freedom of expression, freedom of choice, equality in the eyes of law and other rights that are restricted by constitutional law pertaining to abortion.
