How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- detailing health risks attendant to women forced to carry pregnancies to term such as liver or kidney disease, severe hypertension, cardiac conditions, diabetes, blindness or self-harm due to exacerbated schizophrenia
- “Forcing a physician to wait until a pregnancy threatens a woman’s life before resorting to a ‘partial-birth abortion’ would not only be bad medicine, but is directly contrary to the dictates of Roe and Casey.”
- “Casey provides the governing standard for reviewing plaintiffs’ facial challenge to the Act to the extent that the Act limits both pre-viability and post-viability abortions.”
- “By relegating physicians to the performance of more risk-laden abortion procedures, the Act imposes an undue burden on the woman’s constitutional right to terminate her pregnancy.”
- permanent injunction against New Jersey statute
