WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, in a rare unanimous decision on abortion, said Wednesday that states may require girls under age 18 to tell a parent at least two days before having an abortion so long as the law also permits doctors to act quickly in medical emergencies.
State lawmakers wanted to ensure that a pregnant girl would speak to a parent at least 48 hours before going ahead with an abortion. “States unquestionably have the right to require parental involvement when a minor considers terminating her pregnancy,” O’Connor said.
Forty-four states have laws that give parents a role in the abortion decision, she said.
JOY! JOY!
