042909P.pdf   11/28/2005  Reproductive Health  v.  Jeremiah W. Nixon
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2909
   Western District of Missouri   
   [PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Fagg, Circuit Judge]
Civil case - abortion. District court decision declaring Missouri's "Infant Protection Act," Mo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 565.300, unconstitutional, affirmed; a partial birth abortion ban can only survive review if the government shows the factual situation now existing differs from the factual situation which was present in Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914 (2000); the facts the State of Missouri points to are insufficient to distinguish the case from Stenberg, and the district court did not err in granting the plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on their claim that section was unconstitutional.
