''Stenberg v. Carhart'' (530 U.S. 914, 2000) was the Supreme Court decision which invalidated state laws against [[partial-birth abortion]]. In the case, a Nebraska law outlawed partial-birth abortion even in cases where the mother's life was in danger. The ruling was by the narrowest of margins, 5-4, and one of the Justices in the majority (Sandra Day O'Connor) has been replaced by Justice Samuel Alito.

A federal law banning partial-birth abortion was signed into law in 2003. Entitled the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act (HR 760, S 3), it passed in the House with a vote of 281-142 and in the Senate with a vote of 64-34. Federal courts have prevented it from ever taking effect, decisions are one review (March 2007) by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] in ''Gonzales v. Carhart''.
