Nevada Supreme Court Halts Parental Notification Law

Nevada’s top court just paused a decades-old parental notification law for minors seeking abortions, handing a major victory to abortion rights advocates — but sparking outrage from anti-abortion groups who see it as a betrayal of children. The law, revived after Roe v. Wade fell, required teens under 18 to notify parents before an abortion — a rule two prosecutors recently tried to enforce. Planned Parenthood argued it endangered vulnerable minors, especially those in abusive homes, and noted many still couldn’t access care even with a judicial bypass. Nevada Right to Life pushed back, calling the law a crucial safety net and criticizing the AG’s office for not defending it fiercely. For now, minors in Nevada can access abortion care without parental knowledge — while courts continue sorting out the legality of this 41-year-old law.
