This legislation would have made it a federal crime, punishable by fine and/or incarceration, for a physician to perform a partial birth abortion unless it was necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by
a physical disorder, illness, or injury. The partial-birth abortion legislation has stimulated a great deal of controversy. This report provides a brief overview of the abortion methods currently in use for which data have been published and some positions on the partial birth abortion legislation.</p>Abortion Law Development: A Brief Overview2005-06-10T17:31:49-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1359/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1359/"><img alt="Abortion Law Development: A Brief Overview" title="Abortion Law Development: A Brief Overview" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs1359/small/"/></a></p><p>This report offers an overview of the development of abortion law from 1973 to the present.

The Court’s decisions on the constitutionality of restricting public funding for abortion are also discussed.</p>Abortion: Legislative Response2005-06-10T17:32:08-05:00https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs2075/<p><a href="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs2075/"><img alt="Abortion: Legislative Response" title="Abortion: Legislative Response" src="https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metacrs2075/small/"/></a></p><p>The primary purpose of this issue brief is to focus on the current legislative action in the 107th Congress with respect to abortion; however, understanding that legislation requires a review of the U.

Since its discovery, the pro-life movement has been adamantly against the use of this drug for abortion.
