State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. John J. Moretti and Marietta Schmidt, Defendants-Appellants

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the convictions for conspiracy to commit an unlawful abortion, holding that factual impossibility does not excuse conspiracy liability and that the abortion statute is not void for vagueness. A concurring justice separately argued that the statute should be declared invalid, but joined the majority on the result.
