SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that
a congressional ban on a form of abortion is unconstitutional.
A three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
upheld a lower court’s ruling in June 2004, saying the ban on
partial-birth abortions lacks an exception for when a woman’s
health is at stake. The ruling also called the ban “impermissibly
vague.”

Here’s the ruling.
