Planned Parenthood Sues to Block Parental Notification of Abortion in Nevada

A parental notification rule for underage abortion patients in Nevada, originally passed four decades ago but never enforced due to previous court decisions, was allowed to take effect after a federal judge lifted a temporary block in July 2025.
The law was originally blocked due to constitutional challenges tied to Roe v. Wade, which the Supreme Court overturned in 2022, prompting renewed enforcement efforts by local prosecutors.
Planned Parenthood Mar Monte and a physician filed lawsuits arguing the law is vague, endangers minors’ well-being, and imposes a difficult judicial bypass process lacking clear standards.
The enforcement of the state’s parental notification law was hailed as a landmark achievement for Nevada families by Nevada Right to Life, emphasizing that parents will now have an important role in decisions concerning their children’s wellbeing.
The law’s enactment may lead to delays or denial of abortion access for minors, and abortion rights advocates may continue legal challenges as Nevada voters consider a 2026 ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights.
