The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to decide a Texas case that will thrust the justices back into the long-running battle over the right to an abortion. Without comment, the court granted certiorari in Whole Woman's Health v. Cole, which challenges some of the strict regulations on abortion clinics that Texas and more than 20 states enacted in recent years. The dispute could give the justices an opening to redefine the "undue burden" standard long used by the high court in deciding whether abortion restrictions are constitutional.

The Supreme Court on Friday did not act on a separate Mississippi case raising similar issues, Currier v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which an injunction has halted imposition of some of the same restrictions at issue in the Texas case. The justices could grant review later, or could hold it until the Texas case is decided.
This story was updated with additional comment about the justices’ decision to hear the Texas abortion law case.
