SCOTUS Overturns Appeals Court Upholding Abortion Without Parental Consent

Epoch Times: The Supreme Court threw out a federal appeals court decision on March 20 that upheld the right of a minor to go to court for permission to pursue an abortion without notifying her parents.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the Supreme Court to file a dissenting opinion in the case, Chapman v. Doe, court file 22-312.

In the case, the court vacated the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit and remanded the case to that court with instructions to dismiss the proceeding as moot. Jackson objected to the specific manner in which this was done because it erased any precedential value the circuit court ruling may have had.

In the case, a pregnant minor, Jane Doe, visited her local courthouse to apply for a dispensation allowing her to bypass parental consent for the planned abortion. The office of the petitioner, Michelle Chapman, circuit clerk for Randolph County, Missouri, told her she couldn’t file a bypass petition without notifying a parent.

Doe got an abortion in Illinois after a court there authorized it, absent parental notification. more

    and you know Merrick Garland is seething at knowing he will go down in history as the 2nd most corrupt member of the Judiciary ever, right directly behind that South Carolina Judge that shot and killed and lied and stole and got the most deliciious shot of karma witnessed to date but will be surpassed by whats about to happen to these corrupt evil deep state clowns currently occupying those offices.

  2. Is this the biggest news of the day or is Korea going crazy or Putin getting even more pissed off at the US the bigger news? (I’ve been completely out of the loop with emergencies.)
