Supreme Court abortion Montana minors parental consent.

The Supreme Court won’t hear a case involving a push to revive a law that minors must have their parents’ permission for an abortion in Montana. The justices on Thursday declined hear an appeal from the state seeking to overturn a ruling from the Montana Supreme Court. The parental consent law was passed in 2013 but was blocked in court and never took effect before the state’s highest court struck it down last year. State leaders say parents have a fundamental right to guide their children’s medical decisions. Planned Parenthood says the state court’s decision balanced parental and minor rights in a state that has protected the right to abortion.
