Stranger in a strange land: the use of overbreadth in abortion jurisprudence
Article Abstract:
The overbreadth doctrine was inappropriately applied to abortion by the Supreme Court in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992. This doctrine holds that if any application of a law could be found unconstitutional, then the law must be found unconstitutional for every application. This doctrine thus superceded that of United States v. Salerno, which held that only the application found to be unconstitutional should be voided. Salerno was the correct doctrine and should be revived.
