LeRoy Carhart

[2] On September 6, 1991, the day of the passage of the Nebraska Parental Notification Law, arsonists targeted Carhart's farm, setting fire to his home and a 48-stall barn, along with two other buildings and numerous vehicles.

Carhart stated that he received a note the morning after the fire claiming responsibility and likening the deaths of his animals to the "murder of children".

[3][7] In February 2013, a 29-year-old woman who had been 33 weeks pregnant with a medically abnormal fetus died a day after a four-day abortion procedure at Carhart's clinic in Germantown.

The board's letter followed an investigation by state health officials that reported there were "no deficiencies" in Carhart's handling of the situation, and that the death could have happened during birth as well.

While the Court did not officially reverse Stenberg, it upheld the federal ban as not imposing an undue burden on women, the test established in Planned Parenthood v.
