Justice Kennedy's opinion, joined by Justices Rehnquist, White and Scalia, used the “undue burden” standard; Justice Stevens in his concurrence seemed to apply an effective “undue burden” standard, using the language of “legitimate” and “reasonable.” Justice O'Connor did not join in the part of the opinion that specifically applied the “undue burden” standard, but she has advocated this standard in the past.
