Dr. Jane Hodgson (Ob-gyn and
well-known pro-choice activist) v. state of Minnesota -1990
Dr. Hodgson challenged a Minnesota state law that
required a minor to notify both biological parents before having an
abortion.It made no exception for
parents who were divorced, who had not married, or who were unknown to their
daughters.
Hodgson and the ACLU secured
judicial bypass for teenagers for when they could not comply with the parental
notification law.
