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.

If the court's liberal members and Justice Anthony Kennedy end up voting against Tyson, it would be a rare win for the class action bar from a court that has been making such lawsuits incrementally harder to maintain in recent years.
