  • indicating “the undue burden test is context-specific, and ... both the severity of a burden and the strength of the state’s justification can vary depending on the circumstances”
  • “We conclude that Abbott . . . [is] inconsistent with the undue burden test as articulated and applied in [the relevant Supreme Court case law.]”
