The issue with this law is that it does not allow for emergencies. Most states have a parental notification law with abortion, but in the case of an emergency, the doctor needs to be able to proceed without consent. That is the question with this case, and what the Justices seem to be shooting for is a way to keep the notification law, and yet allow for emergency procedures without notification if the doctor deems it necessary. Or so said the news last night.
