Confusion In The Realm Of Taxpayer Standing: The State Of State Taxpayer Standing In The Eighth Circuit, Richard M. Elias Apr 2001

Confusion In The Realm Of Taxpayer Standing: The State Of State Taxpayer Standing In The Eighth Circuit, Richard M. Elias

Missouri Law Review

In Tarsney v. O’Keefe, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit dismissed a claim for lack of standing brought by Minnesota state taxpayers challenging a state program that provided abortions for indigent women. In so doing, the Eighth Circuit applied the holding of Flast v. Cohen, the United States Supreme Court case that narrowly limited federal taxpayer standing. The Eighth Circuit, however, erred in relying on Flast, as that case applies only to federal taxpayer standing, not state taxpayers. The court should have interpreted and applied the holding of Doremus v. Board of Education of Borough of …

The Limits Of Law At The Limits Of Life: Lessons From Cannibalism, Euthanasia, Abortion, And The Court-Ordered Killing Of One Conjoined Twin To Save The Other, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The subject is law at the beginning and end of life. Most of my work is in the area of general health law: law and medicine, public health law, and health and human rights. But this is my favorite subject area, and I expect you to ask me the hardest questions you can. I am not saying I can answer them, but if I cannot that is my fault, not yours. I am going to make a pretty broad argument today about law and medicine; specifically about how new medical technology and medical practice standards have eclipsed religion (and sometimes …


“Partial-Birth Abortion” And The Supreme Court, George J. Annas Jan 2001

“Partial-Birth Abortion” And The Supreme Court, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

Aortion has long been, and remains, the most politicized medical procedure in the United States. It has been the subject of more state and federal legislation than all other medical procedures combined. The U.S. Supreme Court, which almost never hears cases about medical procedures, has regularly heard cases over the past 25 years concerning the constitutionality of various state laws designed to limit abortion. Thus, it was only a matter of time before the Court would hear a case on the constitutionality of laws restricting so-called partial-birth abortion. When the Court heard a challenge to Nebraska's law, statutes relating to …


"Partial Birth" Abortion And The Health Exception: Protecting Maternal Health Or Risking Abortion On Demand?, Gail Glidewell Jan 2001

"Partial Birth" Abortion And The Health Exception: Protecting Maternal Health Or Risking Abortion On Demand?, Gail Glidewell

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This note, which analyzes the central role of women's health in the debate over the limits of abortion rights, explores the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Stenberg v. Carhart to invalidate a Nebraska statute banning partial birth abortion. Specifically, this note questions whether the Court's decision in Stenberg effectively requires that all future statutes banning partial birth abortion contain an exception for instances in which abortions are medically necessary to protect the health of the woman, and how such a requirement might be structured. The author answers the question in the affirmative, and argues that while broader exceptions …
