Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Held Unconstitutional by 8th Cir.
The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a trial decision that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is unconstitutional. According to the article, even though the act had an exception for saving the life of the mother, it had no exception for the health of the woman.
The opinion is Carhart v. Gonzalez (04-3379)(pdf)
