Alabama Law Requiring Trial for Minors Seeking an Abortion Struck Down by Circuit Court
On 7/1/21 at 12:02 AM EDT
A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld a lower court s ruling striking down an Alabama law that would have required minors seeking an abortion without parental permission to face a trial-like court hearing.
The three-judge panel from U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed with a district court decision that found certain amendments to Alabama s Parental Consent Act represent an undue burden for a large fraction of minors seeking abortions without parental consent. The legal challenge was brought by Reproductive Health Services (RHS), the only abortion clinic currently operating in Alabama s Montgomery County.
