Summary
ADF attorneys and allied attorneys, along with Americans United for Life, submitted the brief to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in support of a law requiring parental consent for a minor's abortion. The brief argues that a Pennsylvania trial court judge who rejected a minor girl's request for a secret abortion applied the correct legal standard and legitimately exercised his legal authority under the statute, stating that she required consent from at least one of her parents.
