High Court to Review Abortion Notice Law
From Times Wire Reports
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday as it weighs whether to reinstate a law that requires parental notification 48 hours before an abortion can be performed on a female younger than 18.
The 2003 law was struck down, days before it was to take effect, for failing to provide an exception to protect a minor’s health.
Under the law, parents or guardians must be notified either in person or by certified mail.
