Montana Supreme Court rules minors don’t need parental permission for abortion

The Montana Supreme Court ruled that minors do not need parental permission for an abortion, affirming their right to privacy and procreative autonomy.
Justice Laurie McKinnon stated, “Minors, like adults, have a fundamental right to privacy," in the unanimous opinion.
The parental consent law, passed in 2013, was blocked and never took effect due to a judge’s ruling that it violated constitutional rights.
