Lawsuit Challenging Parental Notification for Abortion Will Proceed
A state court allowed the legal challenge to Colorado’s parental notification law to proceed. Colorado law currently withholds abortion care from young people for at least 48 hours after a parent has been notified; it also fails to account for the personal circumstances of individual young people. The lawsuit argues that the parental notification requirement discriminates against young people’s right to an abortion under Amendment 79, and violates their rights under Colorado’s Equal Rights Amendment.
