💨 Abstract

A Florida appeals court ruled that a state law allowing minors to get abortions without parental consent is unconstitutional. The three-judge panel cited the Fourteenth Amendment and recent Supreme Court decisions that removed federal abortion rights. The court, siding with the state's attorney general, stopped a pregnant 17-year-old from obtaining an abortion without her father's knowledge. The case is deemed important by the court and is expected to go to the Florida Supreme Court.
