The '''Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act''' of 2003 states that:
{{cquote|Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.}}

The law prohibits the "intact dilation and extraction" abortion. The [[U.S. Supreme Court]] upheld its constitutionality in 2007, after several district courts had issued injunctions against it.
