Federal Abortion Ban Struck Down in New York
Second Court Finds Ban Unconstitutional! In August 2004, a federal district court struck down the federal abortion ban known as the “Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003,” because it fails to provide any exception to protect women’s health. The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Abortion Federation (NAF) hailed the decision as a great victory for women and reproductive health care providers.
