How later courts describe this case
- holding Iowa's partial birth abortion statute unconstitutional because it banned D&E, and in some circumstances suction curettage, abortions, thereby creating an undue burden
- "[W]here an otherwise acceptable construction of a statute would raise serious constitutional problems, [a court] ... will construe the statute to avoid such problems unless such construction is plainly contrary to the intent of Congress.”
