New Hampshire's Parental Notification Law Goes to the US Supreme Court

By Julie Donnelly on Thursday, December 1, 2005.

New Hampshire has taken center stage in the national debate over abortion rights.

The US Supreme Court will decide whether the state's parental notification law for teenagers seeking abortions is constitutional.

The opportunity to present a case before the high court was a first for New Hampshire's Attorney General, Kelly Ayotte.

And many state lawmakers on both sides of the issue traveled to Washington to weigh in and to be a witness to history.
