Texas New Abortion law

Recently, the state of Texas enacted a law regulating abortion. The law has a number of provisions, but I want to focus on 2 of these provisions.

First, the law requires that a physician performing or inducing an abortion "have admitting privileges...at a hospital no more than thirty miles from the location at which the abortion is performed or induced."

Second, the law prohibits "abortion at or after 20 weeks post-fertilization."

Are these laws permissible under Casey and the "undue burden" test?
