The Supreme Court turned away an appeal brought by Montana officials seeking to revive a state law that requires minors seeking abortions to obtain the consent of their parents.
The state court ruled that “a minor’s right to control her reproductive decisions is among the most fundamental of the rights she possesses” and the state had failed to show how its own interests overcame those protections.
The Montana Supreme Court has long recognized a right to abortion under the state constitution, and in 2024 voters also approved a ballot initiative that protects the right to abortion. Just a thought.
