(AP Photo/Blake Paterson) (CN) — Alabama cannot enforce a set of amendments to a law allowing a minor to seek approval from a judge instead of her parents for an abortion, the Eleventh Circuit ruled Wednesday in yet another setback to the state’s long-litigated parental consent act. “We see no problem that the new law helps to cure,” the three-judge panel wrote in the 60-page opinion upholding a lower court order that found the challenged provisions unconstitutional and unenforceable.
