Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gonzales v. Carhart involved the constitutionality of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, which banned a specific type of late term abortion known as intact dilation and extraction. The case involved a challenge to the law by abortion providers, including Dr. LeRoy Carhart, who argued that the law was unconstitutional because it did not contain an exception for the health of the mother. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the law, ruling that it did not impose an undue burden on a woman's right to choose, and that Congress had a legitimate interest in regulating the medical procedure.
