Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood 546 U.S. 320 (2005)

 abortion  • parental notification  • facial challenge Unanimous
O'Connor's opinion for the Court vacated and remanded the First Circuit's judgment that New Hampshire's parental notification law was unconstitutional, but avoided a substantive ruling on the challenged law or a reconsideration of prior Supreme Court abortion precedent. Instead, the Court only addressed the issue of remedy, holding that invalidating a statute in its entirety "is not always necessary or justified, for lower courts may be able to render narrower declaratory and injunctive relief."

Notes

  1. ↑ Roberts did not participate in one of the three cases in which O'Connor filed an opinion.
