Stenberg v. Carhart
Stenberg v. Carhart was a case heard by the Supreme Court of the United States dealing with Partial-birth abortion, specifically a Nebraska law which made performing a specific type of abortion illegal, punishable by revoking of the physician's license. Nebraska, like many states, had banned this procedure on the basis of public morality. The Court struck down the law mainly due to the fact that it did not make an exception for the woman's health, and also due to the ambiguity of the statute.
