With respect to the planned abortion of a juvenile: (1) It is unconstitutional to require a notification to both parents, whether or not both wanted to know or had taken responsibility for raising the child. (2) It is constitutional to require a notification to one parent if there is a possible judicial bypass when the young woman could maturely demonstrate that notification would be unwise. (3) It is constitutional to impose a 48-hour waiting period. | |
