The Sun-Times is reporting (http://www.suntimes.com/news/nation/1665195,w-abortion-notification-law-071409.article) that the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has revived an old law requiring teenage girls to notify their parents before having an abortion. The lower court found that a provision of the law giving teens the option of getting court approval instead of parental consent was not workable. But the appellate court disagreed.
The legislation was passed in 1984, then updated in 1995. It says minors can’t get abortions without telling their parents or getting a court’s OK to bypass the requirement. Before now, ongoing legal battles have meant the law has never really been enforced.
