Planned Parenthood Sues to Block Parental Notification of Abortion in Nevada
NEVADA, JUL 22 – Planned Parenthood Mar Monte challenges Nevada's 40-year-old law requiring parental notification for minors' abortions, citing risks of delays and constitutional concerns, while 36 states have similar laws.
- 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.
