Appellate panel finds revisions to Louisiana parental consent law unconstitutional.


 On April 14, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit unanimously affirmed a lower court decision concerning a young woman's rights to an abortion without parental consent in the state of Louisiana. Since the 1980s, a young woman was required to have the consent of one parent in order to have an abortion. Courts could allow an abortion without the consent of a parent if the woman could demonstrate that she was mature enough to make the decision or that the abortion would be in her best interests. In 1995, the law was amended, allowing judges to delay or deny authorization and to breach the confidentiality of the young abortion seeker. In October 1995, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana overturned the revised law and the appellate court upheld the Eastern District Court's decision.
