Here& #39;s more on those cases:
Box v. Planned Parenthood:
Barrett joined dissenters who favored an Indiana law that would have required doctors to notify the parents of a minor seeking an abortion.
Unlike parental notification laws in other states, Indiana& #39;s didn& #39;t include a judicial bypass provision.

Indiana Dept of Health v. Planned Parenthood:
Barrett favored a rehearing of 2 state laws: 1 that regulated the fetal remains from abortion procedures and another that would have banned abortions due to sex, race or disability, including life-threatening conditions.

More than two-thirds of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, the highest support in more than 20 years, per @pewresearch.
12% believed the procedure should be illegal in all cases.
