Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 1995

For the 2003 law, see Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act was a bill introduced in the Congress of the United States in 1995 by Florida Representative Charles T. Canady which prohibited intact dilation and extraction, sometimes referred to as partial-birth abortion, which the Act described as "an abortion in which the person performing the abortion partially vaginally delivers a living fetus before killing the fetus and completing the delivery". The bill was passed by both houses of Congress, but then vetoed by US President Bill Clinton.

A similar bill was later passed in 2003 as the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act
