North Florida Women's Health & Counseling Services, Inc. v. State of Florida
no. 01-843
Statewide Impact (Leon County)
The Florida Parental Notice of Abortion Act requires that parents be notified
that their child is seeking an abortion, with some exceptions. Various organizations
sued, and the trial court declared the statute unconstitutional. On appeal, the
First District Court reversed.
